  1. This article by umass addresses the biomechanics of vertical jumps, which will allow me to better understand which aspects of the vertical jump needs to be improved through the training to yield the best results, and to help explain why one of the training methods may be superior to another
  2. This is a relatively high quality article, as it is a peer reviewed article. Although it is slightly out of date, it does not matter as this information is relatively established in the scientific literature and is still cited by many articles today
  3. This source is useful because it is reliable, relevant, and relatively recent

  1. This article is a peer reviewed article that discusses the way that muscle contracts. It is fundamental to know how muscles contract in order to understand how vertical jump can be optimized
  2. This article is a high quality source because it is based on other peer reviewed articles and there is a general scientific consensus on this topic. However, this source is slightly outdated, which is slightly relevant because the general consensus on this topic is still stable 
  3. This source is not as useful because although it is very reliable, it is not the most relevant article and will mainly be used only as background information

  1. This study offers a nuanced view of the effects of WT vs. PT on vertical jump. It argues that the best results are achieved when WT and PT are combined into one program. 
  2. This article is a high quality source because it is peer reviewed but slightly out of date. It is also published in a scientific journal
  3. This article is relevant because it looks directly at what I am aiming to explore, along with offering arguments for and against each type of training

  • The vertical jump is an emerging property synthesized through the collective contractions and movements of muscles mainly in the lower body. Vertical Jump is essentially in many modern day sports, such as basketball, volleyball, and football.
  • Evidences:
    1. Essentially, vertical jump is produced by elastic force produced in the muscles, primarly in the lower limb
  • Vertical jump is a nuanced topic, where a series of factors must be in line to produce a good vertical jump. However, there are many methods (PT and WT) that can be used to improve.

  • Topic sentence There is a mixed view regarding the effects of PT vs WT. There are three main views on the best training method for vertical jump, with the general consensus mainly being in the view that a combination of both PT and WT training provides superior vertical jump gains. 
  • Evidences:

    2. This study offers a nuanced view of the effects of WT vs. PT on vertical jump. It argues that the best results are achieved when WT and PT are combined into one program. 
    3. This study yet again offers a nuanced view in the exploration of the effects of different types of training on vertical jump. It was found that when plyometrics were added to the end of a weight training routine, the person would generally have a higher vertical jump
    4. This study offers a slightly different view,  as in elite athletes, weightlifting appears to be more effective and efficient in increasing vertical jump. Hence, it is also important to consider the curve for both types of training styles, which can differ especially with the training experience of the subjects. 
  • However, there was just a large variety of PT and WT used, and there were also a larger variety of methods used to measure it.

  • Topic sentence There are many methods that are being used to test one's vertical jump. Each of which have their own level of reliability, validity, and limitations. Hence, it is important to evaluate the choices before choosing one.
  • Evidences:
    1. Force platform is a relatively inexpensive, accurate way to measure vertical jump
    2. Flight time measurement is also a relatively inexpensive accurate way to measure vertical jump
  • Whichever method is used to measure the vertical jump should be controlled, and adjusted for each persons weight and height in order to not provide any advantages to the subjects and cause inaccuracies in data

Weightlifting is better than plyometric training to improve ... : The Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research. LWW. [accessed 2023 Apr 3]. https://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Abstract/2022/10000/Weightlifting_Is_Better_Than_Plyometric_Training.31.aspx 

    This study explores the effects of plyometrics training on vertical jump, and vertical power, specifically on elite table tennis players. In addition to a control group, the study ran two groups with different programs (though volume is equalized). While one group did plyometrics workouts 2 times a week (3 exercises per session), the other group did strength training workouts at the same frequency.

    Although this study clearly outlines the different effects of strength training and plyometrics, it does do it on elite athletes, which means that they would have already had certain exercise adaptations to both types of training. Obviously, the improvement curve when it comes to strength training and plyometrics both are not linear, hence it cannot be concluded that the same effect will be achieved with novices or people who don’t exercise.
