“…In other words, physiological adaptations seem to occur rapidly at the onset of a training program, but the rate of improvement declines as physiological systems become more adapted to the training stress. The second is the training contents since the preparatory and competitive periods, commonly focused on different physical fitness related to injury prevention and sports performance, which may enhance neuromuscular performances in different magnitudes and directions [ 39 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. Overall, it is possible to assume that ISK responses depend on the participants´ training status, leg dominance, and angular velocity used for the ISK assessments.…”

The present study aimed to examine the changes that occurred in vertical jump and isokinetic dynamometer (ISK) performances at the beginning of a preparatory period (PRE) and at the start of the competitive period (POST). Sixteen U-17 elite female volleyball players, from a national level (15.34 ± 1.19 years; 66.35 ± 7.95 kg; 169.22 ± 24.79 cm), performed bilateral squat jump (SJ), bilateral and unilateral countermovement jump (CMJ) and unilateral ISK tests for knee flexors (Fl) and extensors (Ex) both at 60°/s and at 300°/s. Peak torque (PT) and the hamstring-to-quadriceps (H:Q) ratio were assessed by concentric actions. Asymmetries were calculated by the percentage differences between dominant (DOM) and nondominant legs (NDOM). The paired Student’s t-test was used for comparisons at a level of significance of 5%. The effect size was also calculated. A significant increase was found for both SJ (15%; p = 0.004; ES = 0.82) and CMJ (12%; p = 0.017; ES = 0.62). The PT of NDOM flexors at 60°/s was significantly lower than DOM both at PRE (4.6%; p = 0.048; ES = −0.22) and POST (6.3%; p = 0.037; ES = −0.33). The NDOM extensors at 60°/s had a significantly lower PT than DOM at POST (7.0%; p = 0.048; ES = −0.23). Both DOM and NDOM flexors at 60°/s had a PT enhancement at POST related to PRE (6.7%; p = 0.031; ES = 0.51 and 5.6%; p = 0.037; ES = 0.48, respectively). The PT of NDOM extensors at 300°/s increased at POST in comparison to PRE (7.9%; p = 0.038; ES = 0.27). The NDOM at 300°/s had a H:Q ratio higher than DOM both in PRE and POST (8.6%; p = 0.041; ES = 0.37 and 11.6%; p = 0.013; ES = 0.71, respectively), and the highest H:Q ratios were lower than the reference values (<80%). The asymmetry of the unilateral CMJ was higher at POST than at PRE (102%; p = 0.03; ES = 0.81). The PT for the flexors at 300°/s and the H:Q ratio at POST exceeded 10%. In conclusion, a training program of 15 weeks increased the neuromuscular performance of young volleyball athletes, but many H:Q ratios and asymmetries remained out of the normal recommendation. Volleyball professionals should carefully apply an adequate training program to enhance physical fitness performance without increasing the risk of lower limb injuries concurrently.

“…Training is an effective method to improve physical fitness but there are various training approaches that can be even more beneficial as is the case with plyometric training [6] which can be performed on different types of surfaces [7]. However, it is necessary to take into account several variables to design and implement an effective plyometric training program [8]. Since a deep understa nding is required to understand this type of training and its effect on improvement in the physical condition of athletes [9].…”

The purpose of this research is to analyze and describe the plyometric training of university students in the professional career of physical education. The design is non-experimental, cross-sectional of the descriptive type whose approach is of the quantitative type. The data collection was done through an intentional online survey in which 885 university students participated and responded to eight items voluntarily and anonymously. The results show that university students who practice sports have the desire to want to represent their institution for which they use various plyometric methods for their workouts or daily routines in an informal way that keeps them in a competitive physical state at a regional or national level but not for a competition at an international level. Conclusion. University students perform their own workouts because they believe they have experience in training which is false that is, they themselves create their own daily routines without a professional trainer. They also need an adequate place equipped with trainers with experience in national or international competitions to improve their physical performance. This research has implications for the students because they have to adapt to the rhythm of plyometric exercises to be fit in any national or international competition and the implications for the teachers are that they must take into account which competition they want to participate in to be able to train them as appropriate.

“…For example, jumping height is a fundamental physical component to support the offense and defense techniques in volleyball games [20]. Furthermore, plyometric and resistance training programs improved vertical jump height [21]. However, other essential components could decide the team performance and achievement besides training programs.…”

This research aimed to evaluate the training camp process of the East Java women's volleyball team in the Indonesia Olympic Games (PON) XX during Covid-19 Pandemic. This research was an evaluation study of the CIPP model with a mixed-method design. Two coaches and 15 women volleyball athletes were selected as research samples by purposive sampling method. The data were collected by questionnaire, observation, document analysis, and semi-structured interview techniques. Triangulation data and thematic coding methods were implemented to analyze the data. The results showed that the government supported the training process very well in the context dimension. The input dimensions were human resources, the availability of training programs, training facilities, and infrastructure was also in the excellent category. There was an excellent result on process dimensions. In the product dimension, most athletes have met the target of the training program. In conclusion, most of the dimensions are in a good category. In addition, the implementation of volleyball training in the covid-19 pandemic developed a good response and connection among athletes and coaches. Meanwhile, the negative values which occurred due to the limitation during the implementation of volleyball training in the covid-19 pandemic were boredom, unmotivated, and other psychological problems. Furthermore, limited training variations could be implemented, and game simulations were eliminated during the covid-19 pandemic.
