Michailidis, Y. (2015). Effect of plyometric training on athletic performance in preadolescent soccer players. J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 10(1), pp.15-23. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of plyometric training on performance of preadolescent soccer players. 21 players assigned to two groups: jumping-group (JG, n = 11) and control-group (CG, n = 10). Training program was performed for 10 weeks. Anaerobic power performances were assessed by using standing long jump (SLJ), 10 m and 30 m sprint. In the JG the performance at the long jump was increased significantly (P = 0.031). Also the performance of JG increased at 30m sprint running by 7.2 % (P < 0.001). None of the variables tested in the CG demonstrated difference between the pre-test and the post-test. Our results indicate that plyometric training can improve running performance at 30 m sprint and the performance at standing long jump in preadolescent soccer players.

“…25 A variety of strength training programs using heavy loads and lighter loads in explosive strength training have been shown to improve running performance in middle distances and laboratory runs within our target timeframes with subjects from a variety of populations. [26][27][28] No studies were available that evaluated chronic strength training programs (beyond 28 weeks) in distance runners. However, evidence indicates that strength training can improve run performance.…”

“…Two studies are available that included the 2-mile run as part of a test battery used to evaluate strength and conditioning programs for collegiate athletes. Fry et al 26 evaluated a 12-week offseason volleyball training program that included strength training, plyometrics, on-court play, and 30 minutes of steady-state endurance running four times per week at approximately 80% of HRmax. Mean 2-mile run times were improved by 33 seconds in starters and 18 seconds in nonstarters.…”

Very little peer-reviewed information is available to aid military personnel in selecting training programs to enhance performance on fitness tests and direct fitness-related military policy. Objective: This review provides recommendations on training programs for enhancing performance on 1.5-mile and 2-mile runs based on the available relevant literature. Design: Short review article. Methods: Collected relevant research articles by using search terms such as aerobic power, military physical fitness test, strength training, resistance training, endurance training, high intensity interval training, running economy, 3 km run, 5 km run, and 1.5/2-mile run. Results: Evidence has shown running performance can improve with a combination of traditional strength training, high intensity interval training, and distance training. Conclusion: A combination of traditional strength training, high intensity interval training, and distance training should be used to enhance running performance on the 1.5 and 2-mile run tests used by the military.(Journal of Trainology 2014;3:11-30)

“…Numerous studies have discovered the effects of short-term PT on jumping performance in basketball (Brown, Mayhew, & Boleach, 1986;Matavulj, Kukolj, Ugarkovic, Tihanyi, & Jaric, 2001), soccer (Faigenbaum & Wayne, 2001;Thomas, French, & Gates, 2009), volleyball (Fry, Kraemer, Weseman, Conroy, & Gordon, 1991;Martel, Harmer, Logan, & Parker, 2005;Milič, Nejic, & Kostic, 2008) and other team games. Based on a meta-analysis of the studies, Marković et al (2007) came to conclusion that PT provides statistically significant and practically relevant data in vertical jump height ranging from 4.7% to 8.7% depending on the jump type.…”

BACKGROUND: Explosive strength of the lower extremities and agility are important parts of game performance in basketball. Although numerous studies have focused on the assessment of the training effect of plyometric training, studies focusing on elite players are missing. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to find out what changes in explosive strength of the lower extremities take place after a 6 week plyometric training applied in training units during the pre-season in elite basketball players. METHODS: Elite basketball players (N = 12, age 24.36 ± 3.9 years, height 196.2 ± 9.6 cm, weight 92.9 ± 13.9 kg) performed a 6 week plyometric training (PT) programme predominantly focused on explosive strength of the lower body and upper body and was conducted in sixteen training units during pre-season. The changes in explosive strength were measured by the Counter Movement Jump Free Arms test and TwoStep Run Up Jump test; agility was measured using the "T" Drill test and Hexagonal Obstacle test. The players participated in three measurements. The 1st (pretesting) was performed on the first day of pre-season, the 2nd (post-testing) was done two days after completing the PT programme and the 3rd (post-testing) six weeks after completing the PT programme. Friedman's ANOVA for repeated measurements was used to determine the significance of differences between the measurement sessions (p < .05). RESULTS: A significant effect of the training programme was observed only for the Hexagonal Obstacle test (p = .01). A post hoc analysis revealed a significant increase in test performance between the 1st and 3rd measurement (p < .01) and between the 2nd and 3rd measurement (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS:The results of the study of elite basketball players did not positively support the assumption that plyometric exercises can be an effective tool for the improvement of explosive strength and agility. However, in some players the improvements corresponded to average improvements after training programmes presented in literature.
