Can weekly frequency of plyometric training impair strength and power? A short-term comparison in regional-level jump athletes

Training twice weekly promoted more consistent gains, while three weekly sessions induced transient impairments linked to higher DOMS. Week-4 convergence reflected taper-related recovery rather than sustained frequency effects. Monitoring soreness may help coaches optimize load and recovery in jump athletes.

Abstract

Training twice weekly promoted more consistent gains, while three weekly sessions induced transient impairments linked to higher DOMS. Week-4 convergence reflected taper-related recovery rather than sustained frequency effects. Monitoring soreness may help coaches optimize load and recovery in jump athletes.
