This study aimed to examine the effects of age on vertical jump height and handgrip strength measurements in women. A secondary aim was to investigate the correlations between vertical jump height and handgrip strength. Methods: Twenty young (21.5 ± 2.8 years) and twenty older (67.0 ± 5.5 years) healthy women participated in this study. Handgrip contractions were used to assess strength measurements of peak force and rate of force development at different time intervals. Vertical jumps were performed on a jump mat. The jump mat measured vertical jump height based on flight time. Results: The older women had lower vertical jump height (P < 0.001) and handgrip peak force (P = 0.028) and rate of force development values (P = 0.003–0.016) than the younger women. A larger difference was observed between the groups for vertical jump height (41%) than handgrip peak force and rate of force development (12–17%). Of all the strength measurements, handgrip rate of force development at 200 ms in the young (r = 0.502, P = 0.024) and older (r = 0.446, P = 0.049) women exhibited the strongest correlation with vertical jump height. Conclusions: This investigation showed significantly lower vertical jump height and handgrip peak force and rate of force development values in older compared to younger women. Interestingly, the difference between age groups was larger for jump height than handgrip peak force and rate of force development. This suggests that vertical jump performance may be more severely affected by age than handgrip strength characteristics.

EN
The shock behaviour of crop straw reinforced composites with unsaturated polyester epoxy was studied. In this research an attempt has been made to design and manufacture protective composite vests for soldiers. The low velocity impact loading was generated by a drop weight impact machine with drop heights varying from 100 to 200 mm. The drop mass used in these experiments was 15 kg. The shock-absorbing capacity of the vests was found to be strongly affected by straw type, straw weight percentage per unit volume of composite panel (the permanent composite volume of the panel is equal to 434.2 cm3), and broken short rounded straight steel wire to straw weight ratio. This research concerns the evaluation of all the low velocity drop weight test parameters such as peak dynamic force, duration time, and impulse due to free falling of drop mass at different impact energies: 1.5, 2.25, and 3 J. In addition, indentation parameters such as contact force and absorbed energy could be evaluated. Mathematical models describing these parameters are presented in a form that can be easily predicted. The predicted shock-absorbing capacity shows good agreement with the experimental results. In addition, the optimum tailoring variables affecting the shock-absorbing performance of the composite vest system could be determined.
