Effects of lower limb biomechanical characteristics on jump performance in female volleyball players based on long Stretch–Shortening cycle movements

Background: In volleyball, certain maneuvers (e.g., depth jumps) involve a long stretch-shortening cycle (long-SSC) characterized by a prolonged landing-to-takeoff phase (ground contact time ≥222 ms).

Comparative study of functional training and traditional resistance training on lower-limb strength performance in male adolescent volleyball players: a randomized controlled trial

Background: This study aimed to compare the effects of a functional strength-training program designed around volleyball-specific movements with those of traditional resistance training on lower-limb ...
