“…weeks of TRS plyometric training, which these changes were probably attributed to changes in subjects' diet rather than the training protocol [14]. In another study [25], PJT did not change BMI in volleyball players that is in contrary to the present findings. This may be attributed to differences in training program (upper-body vs. upper-and lower-body plyometrics in our study)…”

“…These results were further supported by previous studies indicating the effectiveness of plyometrics in enhancing maximal dynamic strength [14,25,26]. Although it has been proposed that 6 weeks of PJT may not be enough to induce hypertrophic changes [14], our findings show a significant 1.4 to 2.3% increase in FFM that can almost be indicative of hypertrophic effects.…”

The optimal intra-set rest in cluster sets (CLS) plyometric-jump training (PJT) to improve physical fitness remains unclear. Thus, this study compared the effects of PJT with traditional (TRS) vs. CLS structures using different intra-set rests on physical fitness components. Forty-seven recreationally active young men performed 3-5 sets of 10-12 repetitions of upper- and lower-body exercises twice a week for six weeks using different set configurations as the TRS group (no intra-set rest), and the CLS10, CLS20 and CLS30 groups with 10, 20 and 30 s intra-set rest, respectively, while the total rest period (i.e., 180 s) was equated. Testing was carried out 48 h before and after the intervention and the rating of fatigue (ROF) was also assessed 20 min after the first and last session. There was no significant difference in the mean energy intake between groups (p > 0.05). The ANCOVA revealed that all groups showed similar improvements (p < 0.05) in body mass, body mass index, fat-free mass, one repetition maximum (dynamic strength) and repetitions to failure (muscular endurance) in back squat and chest press, handgrip strength, standing long jump, 20 m sprint, and 9-m shuttle run (change of direction speed), whereas the ROF decreases were greater in the CLS20 and CLS30 groups (p < 0.05). Compared to the TRS structure, six weeks of PJT with an intra-set rest of 20 s, or 30 s induced similar improvements in the measures of physical fitness and anthropometrics, with lower exercise-induced fatigue perception.

Background Upper-body plyometric training (UBPT) is a commonly used training method, yet its effects on physical fitness are inconsistent and there is a lack of comprehensive reviews on the topic. Objective To examine the effects of UBPT on physical fitness in healthy youth and young adult participants compared to active, specific-active, and passive controls. Methods This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and utilized the PICOS framework. PubMed, WOS, and SCOPUS were searched. Studies were assessed for eligibility using the PICOS framework. The effects of UBPT on upper-body physical fitness were assessed, including maximal strength, medicine ball throw performance, sport-specific throwing performance, and upper limb muscle volume. The risk of bias was evaluated using the PEDro scale. Means and standard deviations were used to calculate effect sizes, and the I2 statistic was used to assess heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed using the extended Egger's test. Certainty of evidence was rated using the GRADE scale. Additional analyses included sensitivity analyses and adverse effects. Results Thirty-five studies were included in the systematic review and 30 studies in meta-analyses, involving 1412 male and female participants from various sport-fitness backgrounds. Training duration ranged from 4 to 16 weeks. Compared to controls, UBPT improved maximal strength (small ES = 0.39 95% CI = 0.15–0.63, p = 0.002, I2 = 29.7%), medicine ball throw performance (moderate ES = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.43–0.85, p < 0.001, I2 = 46.3%), sport-specific throwing performance (small ES = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.25–0.86, p < 0.001, I2 = 36.8%), and upper limbs muscle volume (moderate ES = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.20–1.08, p = 0.005, I2 = 0.0%). The GRADE analyses provided low or very low certainty for the recommendation of UBPT for improving physical fitness in healthy participants. One study reported one participant with an injury due to UBPT. The other 34 included studies provided no report measure for adverse effects linked to UBPT. Conclusions UBPT interventions may enhance physical fitness in healthy youth and young adult individuals compared to control conditions. However, the certainty of evidence for these recommendations is low or very low. Further research is needed to establish the optimal dose of UBPT and to determine its effect on female participants and its transfer to other upper-body dominated sports.

“…MTU stiffness may enhance concomitant force production by enhancing storage and release of elastic energy during the acceleration and maximal velocity phases of the climb. The upper limb as a functional unit can be trained to improve its explosiveness using exercises such as bodyweight clap push-ups, bench press throws, ballistic pull-ups, and medicine ball throws (Table 6) (7,8,87). Climbing specific explosive training using campus boards and bouldering derivates are also important methods to develop the shoulder adductors and forearm and finger musculature (23,65) (Figures 1 and 2).…”

Climbing has developed into a professional sport with worldwide participation. Olympic climbing consists of lead climbing, speed climbing, and bouldering. The objective of speed climbing is to reach the top of the route in the fastest time. Speed climbing has not been subjected to the same level of investigation as other types of climbing. A strength and power base underpins performance in speed climbing. This physiological and mechanical basis provides the foundations for effective program design for the speed climber. Effective programming should incorporate a longterm planning approach that is based on a needs analysis of the sport and the climber's physical qualities. The development of high performance will involve the sequential application of regional hypertrophy, maximal strength, explosive strength training, plyometrics, and climbing-specific training to a varying degree.
