Abstract:
Background: Plyometric training (PT) has been researched extensively in athletic populations. However, the effects of PT on tennis players are less clear. Methods: We aim to consolidate the existing research on the effects of PT on healthy tennis players\' skill and physical performance. On 30th May 2022, a comprehensive search of SCOPUS, PubMed, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus (via EBSCOhost) databases was performed. PICOS was employed to define the inclusion criteria: 1) healthy tennis players; 2) a PT program; 3) compared a plyometric intervention to a control group or another exercise group, and single-group trials; 4) tested at least one measures of tennis skill or physical performance; and 5) non-randomized study trials and randomized control designs. Individual studies\' methodological quality was evaluated by using the Cochrane RoB-2 and ROBINS-I instruments. Using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE), the certainty of the body of evidence for each outcome was assessed, and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software was employed for the meta-analysis. Results: Twelve studies comprising 443 tennis players aged 12.5-25 years were eligible for inclusion. The PT lasted from 3 to 9 weeks. Eight studies provided data to allow for the pooling of results in a meta-analysis. A moderate positive effect was detected for PT programs on maximal serve velocity (ES = 0.75; p < 0.0001). In terms of measures of physical performance, small to moderate (ES = 0.43-0.88; p = 0.046 to < 0.001) effects were noted for sprint speed, lower extremity muscle power, and agility. While no significant and small effect was noted for lower extremity muscle strength (ES = 0.30; p = 0.115). We found no definitive evidence that PT changed other parameters (i.e., serve accuracy, upper extremity power and strength, reaction time, and aerobic endurance). Based on GRADE, the certainty of evidence across the included studies varied from very low to moderate. Conclusion: PT may improve maximal serve velocity and physical performance components (sprint speed, lower extremity muscular power, and agility) for healthy tennis players; however, more high-quality evidence about the effects of PT on the skill and physical performance of tennis players merits further investigation.

摘要:
背景:高度测量训练(PT)已在运动人群中进行了广泛的研究。然而,PT对网球运动员的影响不太清楚。方法:我们旨在巩固现有的关于PT对健康网球运动员技能和身体表现的影响的研究。2022年5月30日,对SCOPUS进行全面搜索,PubMed,WebofScience,和SPORTDiscus(通过EBSCOhost)数据库进行。采用PICOS来定义入选标准:1)健康的网球运动员;2)PT计划;3)将补全度干预与对照组或其他运动组进行比较,和单组试验;4)测试了至少一项网球技巧或身体表现的指标;5)非随机研究试验和随机对照设计。通过使用CochraneRoB-2和ROBINS-I仪器评估个别研究的方法学质量。使用建议评估的分级,发展,和评估(等级),评估了每个结果的证据的确定性,采用综合Meta分析软件进行Meta分析。结果:12项研究包括443名年龄在12.5-25岁之间的网球运动员。PT持续3至9周。八项研究提供了数据,以便在荟萃分析中汇集结果。PT程序对最大发球速度检测到中等正效应(ES=0.75;p<0.0001)。就物理性能而言,小到中等(ES=0.43-0.88;p=0.046至<0.001)的影响,注意到冲刺速度,下肢肌肉力量,和敏捷性。而对下肢肌肉力量没有显著和小的影响(ES=0.30;p=0.115)。我们没有发现明确的证据表明PT改变了其他参数(即,服务准确性,上肢力量和力量,反应时间,和有氧耐力)。基于等级,纳入研究的证据确定性从非常低到中等不等.结论:PT可以改善最大发球速度和物理性能成分(冲刺速度,下肢肌肉力量,和敏捷性)对于健康的网球运动员;但是,关于PT对网球运动员技术和身体表现的影响的更多高质量证据值得进一步研究。系统审查注册:[https://inplasy.com/],标识符[INPLASY202250146]。
