Abbreviations ordered alphabetically
BM body mass, F female, Fit fitness level (specific to the participants sport) before the experimental intervention, IS in-season, M male, n number of participants per group, NA not applicable, NR no reported, OS off-season, PS pre-season, SPT systematic experience with plyometric jump training before the experimental intervention, TP training period of the season
^aDenotes that the study included specific-active controls (i.e. alternative training intervention controls), involved in a non-plyometric jump training intervention (e.g. resistance training). The rest of the studies included active controls, involved in their regular sport-specific training schedules
