Background It has previously been shown that conditioning activities consisting of repetitive
hops have the potential to induce better drop jump (DJ) performance in recreationally active …

Drop jump is widely used in training sessions, aiming for chronic effects on long jump
performance. However, the acute effect of drop jump on long jump performance through its …

Purpose: To examine the acute effects of a conditioning plyometric exercise on long-jump
performance during a simulated long-jump competition. Methods: Eight national-level track …

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of assisted and traditional drop
jumps on fast stretch-shortening cycle exercises in collegiate athletes. Participants were …

We aimed to assess the athletic performance changes in combat sport athletes (CoSAs)
after plyometric-jump training (PJT), compared to control conditions, through a systematic …

Stretching can decrease a muscle's maximal force, whereas short but intense muscle
contractions can increase it. We hypothesized that when combined, postactivation …

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effects of jump training (JT)
on measures of physical fitness and athletic performances in endurance runners. Controlled …

Abstract de Poli, RAB, Boullosa, DA, Malta, ES, Behm, D, Lopes, VHF, Barbieri, FA, and
Zagatto, AM. Cycling performance enhancement after drop jumps may be attributed to …

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of drop jumps (DJs) on performance time and pacing in a
field test (ie, 1000 m) commonly used to evaluate endurance runners and to evaluate …

There is an ongoing discussion about how to improve jump performance most efficiently with
plyometric training. It has been proposed that drop height influences the outcome, although …
