Does the 10% Asymmetry Threshold Matter? Effects of Lower-Limb Asymmetries on Jumping and Agility in Basketball

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Background: Lower-limb asymmetry is linked to injury risk and may impair performance, yet evidence in basketball is inconsistent. A commonly cited 10% threshold is proposed as critical, but its practical relevance in basketball-specific tasks remains ...

The Effect of Cluster Sets and Accentuated Eccentric Loading on Vertical Jump Performance and Strategy During Lower‐Body Complex Training

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study assessed general and more detailed post‐activation performance enhancement responses to cluster sets (CS) + accentuated eccentric loading (AEL) versus a traditional method (TRD) in vertical jump performance and strategy. Six men and six women completed lower‐body complex training: countermovement jump was performed at baseline and 1‐

Effect of Plyometric Training on Vertical Jump Height in Pre‐Peak Height Velocity Boys and Girls Aged 9–11 Years

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare changes in countermovement jump (CMJ) height and take‐off velocity, force and power in pre‐peak height velocity (pre‐PHV) boys and girls aged 9–11 years following 6 weeks of lower body plyometric training (PT). Forty pre‐PHV children (20 boys and 20 girls) were allocated to a plyometric training group (PG; n = 20 ...

Acute Responses and Chronic Adaptations to Cluster Versus Traditional Set Resistance Training in Males and Females

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study compared acute and chronic adaptations to cluster set (CS) and traditional set (TS) structures during a 6‐week linear periodised resistance training programme in the back squat. Thirty‐six resistance‐trained females and males were randomly assigned to the CS or the TS group.

Acute effects of endurance exercise on jumping and kicking performance in top-class young soccer players [PDF]

, 2011
The aim of this study was to examine the acute effects of endurance exercise on jumping and kicking performance in young soccer players. Twenty-one top-class young soccer players (16.1±0.2 years) performed a countermovement jump test and a maximal instep

Classroom‐Integrated Kettlebell Training: Effects on Motor Performance, Attention, and Health in Primary School Children

Journal of School Health, Volume 96, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Declining physical fitness and rising obesity in children call for effective interventions. Integrating kettlebell training into the classroom may provide a practical way to overcome existing barriers. This study examined its feasibility and effectiveness on second graders' motor performance, attention, and health.

Proficiency Barrier in Track and Field: Adaptation and Generalization Processes

Sensors
The literature on motor development and training assumes a hierarchy for learning skills—learning the “fundamentals”—that has yet to be empirically demonstrated. The present study addressed this issue by verifying (1) whether this strong hierarchy (i.e.,
