Systematic review shows jump performance improvement in response to flywheel training, suggesting need for further research on protocols.
Flywheel resistance training induces a small, acute enhancement in jump performance, primarily through a post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) mechanism, with significant effects observed at 8-12 min post-exercise. Greater benefits for jumping occurred with inertial loads > 0.05 kg·m², but no significant acute effect was observed for sprint performance. These findings are limited by low evidence certainty and restricted generalizability, necessitating further research with larger, diverse samples and standardized protocols.
