Values are means ± SD; %Δ, within group changes from pre- to post-training; ES, effect size. PPO, peak power
output; APO, average power output; COD, change of direction; SJ, squat jump; CMJ, countermovement jump.
N = 10 for each group. ‡ Significantly greater than pre-training value (P < 0.05); § Significantly greater changes
than the interval jumping group (P < 0.05).
‡ Significantly greater changes than the interval running group (P < 0.05).
