Meta-Analysis of Plyometric Training Effects on Basketball Player Performance

Seventeen studies involving 444 participants were included in this meta-analysis. The dataset is a systematic review and meta-analysis document authored by Jinqi Liu, evaluating the effect of standalone plyometric training on countermovement jump, squat jump, and 20-meter sprint performance in basketball players. It was last updated on March 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparing the effectiveness of plyometric training on vertical jump metrics based on the reported Hedges' g values.
• Analyzing heterogeneity in training outcomes across studies based on the reported I² statistics.
• Investigating the relationship between training duration and performance gains based on the subgroup analysis mentioned.

Strengths

• Includes results from 17 studies with 444 total participants.
• Reports specific effect sizes (Hedges' g) with 95% confidence intervals for three performance metrics.
• Assesses publication bias and heterogeneity using established statistical methods.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 15.9 KB document; the underlying study-level data is not provided.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
