NT = without ankle taping; T = with ankle taping; PF = peak vertical force; PP = peak power; h = jump height; F1 = first peak vertical force value; F2 = second peak vertical force value; T1 = time elapsed from contact to F1; T2 = time elapsed from contact to F2; TBW = time from feet contact until vertical ground reaction forces reach the subject´s weight for the first time after the landing; * = P < 0.05
