Анотація: (English) Jumping (plyometric) work can improve power, rate of force development, and jump performance, with some studies finding improvements comparable to the effects of traditional strength training/weightlifting for a range of speed-strength parameters. For strength athletes, the key question is not "should I jump?" but "how much should I jump" to achieve a stimulus without overloading the tendons or impairing recovery after lifting. This article proposes a practice-oriented model of "optimal volume" using clear metrics (contacts, intensity, frequency, weekly distribution) and based on data from systematic reviews/meta-analyses and methodological recommendations on plyometric volume.
