Introduction:

jumping and squatting are recurrent movements within the training processes of an athlete, which is why it is necessary to understand the variables that interact in the development of performance objectives.

Objective:

to determine the relationship between jump height and the mechanical variables of the squat.

Materials and methods:

the methodology used is of a quantitative correlational type, with a cross-sectional design, where 43 juvenile athletes (men = 34, women = 9) were evaluated in the counter-movement jump (CMJ), half squat jump (SJ) and free jump test,

along with this, 6 repetitions of squats at maximum speed were performed, where the best possible repetition was considered.

Results:

the main results obtained were the significant relationship between the mean propulsive velocity and the CMJ (r =0.75, p: 0.00), SJ (r =0.69, p: 0.00) and free (r =0.72, p: 0.00).

Conclusions:

finally, it is concluded that there is a relationship between jumping capacity and the squat execution speed.
