Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Double

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Plyometric training
Jumps in place. Standing jumps. Multiple hops and jumps. Box drills. Depth jumps.
Other: Plyometric training

Jumps in place. Some examples include multiple vertical jumps while reaching an overhead object, squat jump, pike jump, or tuck jump.

  • Standing jumps. Examples include the single leg jump, maximal vertical jump ,standing long jump or lateral long jump.
  • Multiple hops and jumps. Examples would include multiple long jumps or cone hops performed in succession, such as 5 hops in a row
  • Box drills. Examples of these drills include box jumps ,repeated box jumps, and single leg box jumps.
  • Depth jumps. Examples include stepping off the box and landing, stepping off the box and jumping vertically immediately after landing, or stepping off the box, landing, and sprinting.
