Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates significant improvement in shooting velocity among elite water polo players, indicating the value of targeted training programs.

Key Points

  • To systematically review and synthesize the effects of training interventions on shooting velocity in elite water polo players.
  • Systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase, and Scopus
  • Included randomized controlled trials focusing on shooting or throwing velocity
  • Effect sizes calculated using Cohen's d with random effects model
  • Training interventions significantly improved shooting velocity (d = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.02–0.80, p = 0.040)
  • Resistance training showed a significant positive effect on shooting velocity (d = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.09–1.24, p = 0.023)
  • No significant differences were observed in improvements between male and female subgroups
