Effects of vertical and horizontal plyometric training on jump performances and sprint force –velocity profile in young elite soccer players

ConclusionsBoth horizontal and vertical plyometric training can be either used in young soccer players to improve vertical and horizontal performances in jump and sprint. However, horizontal plyometric training may result in a greater improvement in horizontal ballistic actions while similarly developing vertical jump qualities compared to vertical plyometric training in young soccer players.
