2024-12-05T21:46:31Z urn:hdl:10459.1/70926 Plyometric jump training effects on the physical fitness of individual-sport athletes: a systematic review with meta-analysis Solé Cases, Silvia Ramírez-Campillo, Rodrigo Andrade, David C. Sánchez-Sánchez, Javier Human physical conditioning Resistance training Exercise therapy Physical education and training Background: The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis to explore the effects of plyometric jump training (PJT) on the physical fitness of individual sport athletes (ISA). Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we searched through PubMed, Web of Science, and SCOPUS electronic databases. We included controlled studies that incorporated a PJT intervention among ISA (with no restriction for age or sex), that included a pre-to-post intervention assessment of physical fitness (e.g., sprint; jump). From the included studies, relevant data (e.g., PJT and participants characteristics) was extracted. We assessed the methodological quality of the included studies using the PEDro scale. Using a random-effects model, meta-analyses for a given outcome was conducted. Means and standard deviations for a measure of pre-post-intervention physical fitness from the PJT and control groups were converted to Hedges’ g effect size (ES). Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. The risk of bias was explored using the extended Egger’s test. The statistical significance threshold was set at p < 0.05. Moderator analyses were conducted according to the sex, age and sport background of the athletes. Results: Twenty-six studies of moderate-high methodological quality were included (total participants, n = 667). Compared to controls, PJT improved vertical jump (ES = 0.49; p < 0.001; I = 0.0%), linear sprint (ES = 0.23; p = 0.032; I2 = 10.9%), maximal strength (ES = 0.50; p < 0.001; I2 = 0.0%) and endurance performance (ES = 0.30; p = 0.028; I2 = 11.1%). No significant effect was noted for sprint with change of direction (ES = 0.34; p = 0.205; I2 = 70.9%). Athlete’s sex, age and sport background had no modulator role on the effect of PJT on vertical jump, linear sprint, maximal strength and endurance performance. Among the included studies, none reported adverse effects related to the PJT intervention. Conclusions: PJT induces small improvements on ISA physical fitness, including jumping, sprinting speed, strength and endurance. 2024-12-05T21:46:31Z 2024-12-05T21:46:31Z 2021-04-06T12:08:23Z 2021-04-06T12:08:23Z 2021-03-01 2021-04-06T12:08:23Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://hdl.handle.net/10459.1/70926 Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.11004 Peerj, 2021, vol. 9, núm. e11004 cc-by (c) Solé Cases, Silvia et al., 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es PeerJ
