CG = control group; MG = machine-based group; FG = flywheel group; ES = effect size; CI = confidence intervals; CMJ = countermovement jump; SV = serve velocity; MBT = medicine ball throws;

*

p < 0.05 within group differences. Magnitudes of ESs were assessed using the following criteria: < 0.2 = trivial, 0.2–0.6 = small, 0.6–1.2 = moderate, 1.2–2.0 = large, > 2.0 = very large.
