Procedures
Before the start of the experimental period, participants performed some familiarization sessions to understand all the tests protocols. During the test session participants were instructed to wear the same sports equipments and the same time of the testing was respected all over the experimental period to minimize any effects of diurnal variations [In addition, the participants performed four testing sessions (each one following a 5-min jogging warm-up) before (T1) and after (T2) the intervention distributed as follows: the first testing session was devoted to vertical jump tests, the second testing session was devoted to CoD and five time-jump (FJT), the third testing session was devoted to the balance tests and the fourth testing session was devoted to the repeated sprint test. The testing sessions followed at least a 48-hour withdrawal from strenuous physical activity and were separated each other by at least 48 hours. The tests during the same session were performed randomly.
