Effects of plyometrics training on lower limb strength, power, agility, and body composition in athletically trained adults: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: This meta-analysis assesses the impact of plyometric training on lower limb strength, power, agility, and body composition in athletically trained adults to inform its athletic applications. A systematic search of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus databases on the effects of plyometrics training on physical fitness in athletically trained adults. Searches were conducted up to May 2025 using the PICOS framework. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool (ROB-2), and statistical analyses were performed using Review Manager (RevMan 5.4.1). Publication bias was assessed through funnel plot asymmetry and Egger's regression test. The certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approac
