Abstract
This study aimed to contrast the impacts of an exercise intervention using either bounce drop jump (DJ; fast stretch-shortening cycle [SSC] exercise) or countermovement jump (CMJ; slow-SSC exercise) on measures of physical fitness in young females. A total of twenty-three young females (age: 19.7±1.0 years, height: 159.8±4.2 cm, body mass: 54.3±14.3 kg) were randomly assigned to either DJ (n=12) or CMJ (n=11) training, which spanned six weeks. Pre- and post-training assessments were conducted for 10 m and 30 m linear sprints, change-of-direction speed (CODS), CMJ, DJ (jump height, contact time, reactive strength index [RSI]), standing long jump (SLJ), triple-hop distance, and isometric strength. Apart from the variance in jump technique, both interventions were standardized in terms of total repetitions, intensity, and surface type. No significant group × time effect was observed in any dependent variables (all p>0.05). A significant time effect was observed in 10 m (p<0.001, ES = 0.70) and 30 m (p<0.001, ES = 0.79) linear sprint, CMJ height (p=0.012, ES = 0.34), DJ contact time (p=0.012, ES = 0.34), and triple-hop distance (p=0.006, ES = 0.38). Both DJ and CMJ training interventions led to comparable improvements in linear sprints, CMJ height, DJ contact time, and triple-hop distance. These findings suggest that the duration of ground contact during intervention exercises (i.e., fast vs. slow SSC) did not significantly influence initial (six-week) physical fitness adaptations in young females. However, extending these results to highly-trained groups (e.g., athletes) warrants further investigation.
