Cautions (LIMITATIONS) |
Recommendation (WHAT works) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CBT (Combined training) |
Youth (≤ 18), Tier 2, male | 4-8 weeks | 2-5 sessions/ week |
Moderate | Combines resistance and plyometric stimuli and may be associated with complementary neuromuscular adaptations. | Some concerns
in RoB2; moderate heterogeneity; limited head-to-head comparisons |
Most effective modality for CMJ improvement |
| PT (Plyometric training) |
Adult (> 18 years), female, general athletes | 6-12 weeks | 2-4 sessions/ week |
Moderate | Particularly beneficial when athletes have an adequate strength foundation | Small number
of studies; reliance on indirect comparisons; moderate heterogeneity |
Effective
for improving explosive performance |
| FT (Flywheel resistance training) |
Tier 3 / highly trained | 6-10 weeks | 1-2 sessions/ week |
Low-Moderate | May enhance neuromuscular adaptations under high mechanical load conditions | Small sample
size; heterogeneous protocols; reliance on indirect evidence |
Provides
eccentric overload stimulus for CMJ improvement |
| STG (Traditional strength training) |
Strength-focused athletes | 4-8 weeks | 2-3 sessions/ week |
Low | Primarily develops general strength qualities rather than CMJ-specific adaptations | Heterogeneous training protocols; inconsistent effects; limited direct comparisons | Limited
effectiveness for CMJ improvement |
| HIIT/RST/ SSG | Conditioning-focused soccer contexts | 5-10 weeks | 1-3 sessions/ week |
Low | More suitable for conditioning and match fitness development | Indirect evidence base; small sample sizes; limited CMJ-specific adaptations | Limited direct transfer to CMJ performance |
