Effects of a Plyometric Training Program on Youths With Different Biological Maturity in Sport
Sponsor: Palacky University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to assess the effectiveness of a 12-week plyometric training regimen on improving power, speed, and agility among boys aged 10 to 18 years who are actively engaged in sports and exhibit differing levels of biological maturity. The study seeks to determine how maturation affects the responsiveness to the training program, potentially influencing future sports training approaches for young athletes.

Interventions
Plyometric training
Participants undergo a plyometric training program. The plyometric training consists of exercises in the horizontal, lateral, and vertical directions of movement. Exercises are progressively focused on maximal performance with short ground contact (\<250 ms). The training sessions are twice per week.
Control training
Participants continues their regular sports activities without additional plyometric training. The training sessions are twice per week.
