How would understanding these optimal ankle and MPJ angles apply to producing maximal vertical force when jumping straight up off one leg on a skateboard?
Alright, so I think it means that you flex your tibialis anterior but at the same time you flex your soleus causing the tibia to be held in isometric tension. This way when flexing your hamstrings and hip flexors to bring you into a squat position you keep the optimal ankle angle. but after that I'm not exactly sure yet on how the combination of quadricep flexion, illio-gluteal shifting, and mpj dorsi and/or plantar flexion works together on the ascent phase of jumping with the skateboard, but by flexing the lats it's my understanding that you can turn all of that power that you're talking about in the push-off phase into vertical forces.

Give up man, Emily never replies to comments, it's rather sad.
+Jeep Morton Do You know a creator who does?
isn't short foot best executed with engagement of flexor hallucis brevis rather than the flexor hallucis longus?
