Article Synopsis
- This meta-analysis researched how plyometric training (PT) and resistance training (RT) affect lower limb explosive power and speed in athletes, focusing on jumping and sprinting abilities.
- The analysis included 20 studies with 457 participants, finding no significant differences in jumping performance between PT and RT, but notable improvements in sprinting for shorter distances (5-m and 20-m) with PT.
- Overall, while PT showed advantages for specific sprinting distances, both training methods produced similar results for jumping and other sprinting tests, indicating they may be equally effective for overall performance.
