Abstract

The present study investigated the effects of an 8-week plyometric training program on dynamic balance and vertical jump performance in adolescent female basketball players. A pre-test–post-test experimental design was used with 30 participants. Performance variables were assessed using the vertical jump test and Y-Balance test. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in vertical jump performance (M = 21.67 to 25.20, p < .001) and dynamic balance (M = 88.35 to 92.33, p < .001). The findings indicate that plyometric training effectively enhances neuromuscular performance, lower limb power, and balance ability in adolescent female athletes.
