Several investigations have noted altered kinetic and neuromuscular landing patterns in adolescent female athletes following various plyometrics programs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a time-limited plyometrics training program on neuromuscular responses and peak vertical ground reaction force (PVGRF) in Division I collegiate soccer players. Sixteen (8 male, age=l9.38 ± 1.4 yrs, ht= 178.44 ± 8.99 cm, mass =80.38 ± 8.37 kg; 8 female, age=19.75 ± 0.71 yrs, ht=163.83 ± 4.30 cm, mass =62.13 ± 6.29 kg) athletes completed the testing protocol and plyometric training. Seven (3 male, average age=22.00 ± 1.00 yrs, average height=171.88 …
