Effects of plyometric training performed on different surfaces and with different types of footwear on the neuromuscular performance of team-sport athletes: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT: This systematic review aimed to analyze the effects of plyometric training (PT) performed on different surfaces and with different types of footwear on the neuromuscular performance of team-sport athletes, and to properly delineate the role of these specific factors (i.e., surface type and footwear) on PT outcomes. A systematic search was conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and metaanalyses guidelines using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for articles published before May 2024. From the total of 2832 articles, 35 met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. The results indicate that sand surfaces seem to be more effective than other surfaces in increasing neuromuscular performance. Specifically, studies that investigated the intervention
