ABSTRACT
Objective: Analyze the types of plyometric evaluation and training methodologies most used in the team sports of soccer, basketball and volleyball that are reported in recent literature. Methodology: Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria; eight in volleyball, six in soccer and three in basketball. Results: Significant effects (p > 0.05) were reported in jumping tests Counter Movement Jump, Squat Jump, Abalakov, Drop Jump, as well as speed tests at different distances (15-40 m). The studies report significant effects after 6-8 weeks of training, with two sessions per week. There were no significant differences between men and women. Conclusion: Plyometric training produces improvements in jump height and short-duration speed. It is recommended to carry out studies in which the results obtained can be applied, in addition to being able to combine plyometric training with strength training, or to perform it on different types of floors.
