Summary

Plyometric training comprises one of the most widely used training methods in both individual and team sports, and is widely used by coaches as one of the main training in both adults, and children. Plyometric training highly includes the component of eccentric contraction. However, eccentric muscle action, especially when unaccustomed, can lead to exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), which is accompanied by increased delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS), inflammatory responses, increased levels of muscle proteins into the circulation, oxidative stress, and reduction of muscle function and performance the following days. Although plyometric training is widely used in children and may lead to EIMD, there is limited data regarding the acute effects of plyometric exercise training in children. Additionally, the effect of the biological maturation status of children on EIMD after acute plyometric exercise training has not been investigated. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of biological maturation on EIMD after acute plyometric exercise training in children.
