Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effects of horizontal (HJ) and vertical (VJ)‑based plyometric jump training on male semi‑professional soccer player's performance (e.g., change‑of‑direction speed [5‑0‑5 test]; 10‑m, 20‑m, and 30‑m linear sprint speed). A parallel‑study design was conducted. Participants were organized into HJ (n = 10) or VJ (n = 9) during 12 weeks. Measures of athletic performance were obtained in four phases: (i) before and (ii) end of the pre‑season, (iii) during (weeks 7th), and (iv) after the intervention. The within‑group analysis revealed that both HJ and VJ improved change of direction (x 2 = 27.783; p < 0.001 (x 2 = 21.635; p < 0.001),), 10‑m linear sprint time (x 2 = 28.576; p < 0.001), 20‑m linear sprint time (x 2 = 28.969, p < 0.001), and 30‑m linear sprint time (x 2 = 26.143; p < 0.001). Similarly, the VJ‑group also imposed significant changes on 5‑0‑5 time, 10‑m linear sprint time (x 2 = 25.787; p < 0.001), 20‑m linear sprint time (x 2 = 24.333, p < 0.001), and 30‑m linear sprint time (x 2 = 22.919; p < 0.001). Between‑group analysis revealed no significant differences in any of the assessment moments. HJ and VJ plyometric jump training are effective for improving the change‑of‑direction and a linear sprint of semi‑professional players with no difference between types of intervention.
