Differential effects of plyometric training loads on jump and sprint performance reveal optimal strategies.
Scientific reports·July 7, 2026·PMID 42409834
Why it mattersOptimizing plyometric training load is critical for practitioners designing programs to enhance explosive power and speed. This analysis clarifies that medium loads (5–15% body weight) are most effective for vertical jump, while even low loads (<5% body weight) can substantially improve sprint performance, guiding evidence-based load selection.
