简要总结
Introduction. Basketball is a high intensity intermittent sport, requiring jumping, running, accelerations and decelerations with changes of direction and lateral movements. Plyometric exercises are a training technique that consists of a cycle of muscle stretching and shortening in which the energy stored in the eccentric phase (lengthening) is released facilitating the production of maximum power in the concentric phase (shortening).
Objective. To analyse the efficacy of a physiotherapy intervention through a protocol of plyometric and stability exercises in the improvement of vertical jump, stability, flexibility and agility in federated female basketball players. The primary variable will be the vertical jump (My jump 2.0). Secondary variables will be stability (Y balance test), flexibility (Sit and Reach) and agility (T-Test).
Methods. Controlled, single-blind clinical study. 20 athletes will be randomised to the experimental and control groups. The intervention of the experimental group will consist of a protocol using plyometric and stability exercises. The athletes included in the control group will not perform any intervention and will continue with their usual routine. The intervention period will last 6 weeks, with a periodicity of 2 weekly sessions of 20 minutes each.

盲法说明
Three assessments will be made throughout the study: before the intervention (T0), after the experimental phase (T1) and after a 6-week follow-up period (T2). All variables will be assessed by an evaluator blinded to the assignment of the athletes to the study groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Assess the changes in vertical jump
时间窗: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after six weeks follow-up
The vertical jump will be measured with the My jump 2.0® application. The athlete will be asked to jump as high as possible from a standing position, raising the body in the air by means of an impulse generated by the leg muscles. The evaluation consists of the recording of the jump, the calculation of the height of the vertical jump and the athlete's strength and speed levels. The unit of measurement of this tool is the centimetre, where the greater the distance, the higher the vertical jump.
