Effects of overcoming isometric unilateral conditioning activity on subsequent single-leg drop jump in elite and amateur volleyball players: a randomized crossover trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The study aimed to assess the acute effects of overcoming isometric split squats on subsequent single-leg drop jump (DJ) performance and the contralateral effect in volleyball players, considering training status differences.

Methods

Ten male elite (ELI) and ten amateur (AMA) volleyball players took part in two experimental sessions in which they performed conditioning activity (CA) consisted of 3 sets of overcoming isometric 3-second split squats, differing in the limb used: dominant (DL) or non-dominant (ND-L). Single-leg DJ was performed before and at the 4th and 8th minute post-CA for both limbs. The best post-CA attempt in terms of jump height (JH) was analyzed.

Results

Results revealed a significant increase in jump height (JH) in the non-dominant lim
