*p-value extracted from the original article; ES: effect size calculated using standardized Cohen d; %: percentage of difference between conditions; CMJ: countermovement jump; SJ: squat jump; SLSJ: single leg squat jump; DJ: drop jump; SS: static stretching; DS: dynamic stretching; VP: vibration platform; PNF: proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation; N/A: not applicable; ND: not described |
¶: the study only provided mean difference between for pre-post differences |
#V-sit: static hold where the body forms a V shape by extending the legs straight in front and lifting the upper body to create a straight line from the hands to the toes while balancing on the buttocks |
$forward split: involves extending one leg forward and the other backward while keeping both legs straight, creating a line parallel to the ground with the torso positioned between the legs |
@split jump: dynamic movement where a gymnast leaps into the air, extending both legs to the sides in a split position, and then lands with one foot in front and the other behind while maintaining the split position |
≈´vault: refers to an apparatus used for a dynamic event where gymnasts sprint down a runway, propel themselves off a springboard onto the vaulting table, and execute various maneuvers before landing on the mat |
σhandspring vault: involves a gymnast running down the runway, placing their hands on the vaulting table, performing a handspring by pushing off with their hands and propelling their body over the vault, and then executing a variety of twists or flips before landing on the mat. |
