Integrated Neuromuscular Training for Repeated Jumping Performance in Collegiate Volleyball Players

Sponsor: Capital University of Physical Education and Sports, China

Summary

This randomized controlled study evaluated whether adding integrated neuromuscular training (INT) to regular volleyball instruction could improve repeated jumping performance in collegiate volleyball players. Thirty-four participants were randomly assigned to an INT group or a control group. Both groups continued the same conventional volleyball instruction, while the INT group also received structured neuromuscular training twice per week for 9 weeks. The INT program included plyometric exercises, strength training, core stabilization, and speed-agility drills. Repeated jumping performance was assessed before the intervention, immediately after the 9-week intervention, and after a further 3-week follow-up period. Participants completed three Continuous Countermovement Semi-Squat Jump (CCSJ) protocols: five consecutive jumps, continuous jumping for 15 seconds, and continuous jumping for 30 seconds. Outcomes included jump height, peak force, mean force, and fatigue index.
