Table 1_Comparative effects of unilateral and bilateral plyometric training on physical fi

A systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the effects of unilateral and bilateral plyometric training on physical fitness in adolescent team-sport athletes. The analysis includes 11 studies involving 388 participants, with results synthesized using a random-effects model. The work was authored by Fengming Zhang and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparing the efficacy of unilateral versus bilateral plyometric training based on aggregated study results.
• Informing training program design for single-leg performance tasks based on the reported advantages for single-leg CMJ and COD.
• Assessing the impact of plyometric training on sprint performance over different distances based on the ≤10 m and ≥20 m sprint results.

Strengths

• Includes results from 11 studies with a total of 388 participants, providing a quantitative synthesis.
• Reports specific effect sizes (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals and I² statistics for multiple performance metrics.
• Has a clear systematic review registration (PROSPERO CRD420261324213).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 270.4 KB DOCX document, which is a small text file; the underlying raw data or study-level data are not included.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the document text.
• The analysis is limited to adolescent team-sport athletes, which may limit generalizability to other populations.
