  1. Sets × Repetitions. During day 1, squats were done before plyometrics, while during day 2, squats were done after plyometrics. For drop jumps, the goal was to increase height every week. Both-leg hops were done over a distance. Split-squat walking was done over a distance, while split-squat jumping consisted in jumping as high as possible with the fastest transition in leg position possible
