Figure 6. Standardized between-group differences in pre-to-post changes in Smith machine squat one-repetition maximum (1RM), squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), standing long jump (SLJ), and 30-m sprint (T30) time. Points represent Hedges’ g, and horizontal bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Effect sizes were calculated for the between-group differences in change and standardized using the pooled baseline standard deviation. VL10, 10% velocity-loss group (n = 14); VL30, 30% velocity-loss group (n = 14). Positive values favor VL10, whereas negative values favor VL30. The shaded area denotes trivial effects (|g| < 0.20).
