Differences in measures of neuromuscular performance in participants, analyzed using 2 x 2 x 2 (time x group x maturity) repeated measures ANOVAs. P-values are presented for 3-way and 2-way interaction effects and for the main effects.
| 20-m sprint (s) | CMJ (cm) | SJ (cm) | RSI (mm/ms) | Isokinetic strength (Nm) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time x group x maturity | p = 0.368 | p = 0.687 | p = 0.128 | p = 0.032 | p = 0.384 |
| Time x group | p < 0.001 | p < 0.001 | p = 0.008 | p < 0.001 | p < 0.001 |
| Time x maturity | p = 0.015 | p = 0.605 | p = 0.159 | p = 0.319 | p = 0.416 |
| Group x maturity | p = 0.435 | p = 0.607 | p = 0.682 | p = 0.481 | p = 0.735 |
| Time | p < 0.001 | p = 0.009 | p = 0.001 | p = 0.002 | p < 0.001 |
| Group | p = 0.396 | p = 0.616 | p = 0.476 | p = 0.776 | p = 0.828 |
| Maturity | p = 0.001 | p = 0.003 | p = 0.010 | p = 0.081 | p < 0.001 |
PHV = peak height velocity; CMJ = countermovement jump; SJ = squat jump; RSI = reactive strength index. “Time” denotes pre- to post-training data, “group” represents jump training group or control group, and “maturity” refers to pre- vs. post-PHV.
