Acute enhancement strategies for countermovement jump performance: a network meta-analysis of different resistance training protocols

Based on evidence of high quality level, Flywheel training is the best way to enhance acute countermovement jump performance. Regarding training parameters, while subgroup analyses point towards moderate intensity and 5-7 min of rest, these should be viewed as preliminary indicators due to wide confidence intervals and residual heterogeneity. While the conclusions for deadlifts and squats are based on less conclusive evidence, they are recommended as alternative options when a flywheel device is not available. If conditions do not permit, deadlifts can be considered as the next best option. However, the current evidence is insufficient to support the positive role of leg press in enhancing acute jumping ability.
