Abstract

Abstract. Introduction: Plyometric training (PT) is normally used to improve vertical jump (VJ) and physical performance of soccer players in the basic categories. Objective: To verify the effects of PT on VJ in soccer players between 15 and 18 years old. Methods: This systematic review followed the PRISMA recommendations. The search was carried out on the scientific bases of LILACS (via BVS), MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane, SciELO, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus. The methodological quality of the articles was assessed using the Jadad scale. The risk of bias analysis was analyzed using the Cochrane tool. Results: From the 166 studies found, 10 articles were selected, of which 7 used PT as one of the interventions and 3 addressed some type of PT associated with other methods. TP as the only variable or associated with other methods produced increases over VJ. Conclusion: PT was presented as an effective tool to increase the VJ in soccer players between 15 and 18 years old, however, other studies involving different intervention methods should be performed.
