Supplementary Table S33. Timing-method sensitivity analysis for sprint outcomes. |
| Outcome |
Main analysis: key contrast (MD, 95% CI) |
Sensitivity analysis excluding non-photoelectric/electronic timing studies: key contrast (MD, 95% CI) |
Interpretation |
| 5-m sprint |
Traditional Strength Training vs Regular Training: -0.09 s (-0.11 to -0.07) |
-0.09 s (-0.11 to -0.07) |
Unchanged; conclusion robust |
| 20-m sprint |
Traditional Strength Training vs Regular Training: -0.13 s (-0.20 to -0.06) |
-0.13 s (-0.19 to -0.05) |
Materially unchanged; conclusion robust |
| 30-m sprint |
Speed Training vs Regular Training: -0.16 s (-0.34 to 0.01) |
-0.14 s (-0.31 to 0.03) |
Direction preserved, but imprecision remained; no statistical significance |
| 40-m sprint |
Endurance Training vs Regular Training: -0.21 s (-0.45 to 0.03) |
-0.18 s (-0.41 to 0.05) |
Direction preserved, but uncertainty remained; no statistical significance |

For sprint outcomes, the sensitivity analysis excluded studies using video/app-based timing methods, while studies with unclear timing-method reporting were retained to avoid excessive fragmentation of sparse networks. Key contrasts were selected to match the most decision-relevant comparisons reported in the main text. For sprint outcomes, negative MDs indicate faster sprint times. |
