Plyometric training has become an integral component of modern volleyball training programs to improve explosive power and vertical jump performance. This literature review analyzed 45 empirical studies published between 2015-2024 to evaluate the effectiveness of plyometric training in volleyball athletes. The results of the analysis showed that plyometric training significantly increased vertical jump height (8-25%), explosive power (12-30%), and spike performance (10-20%) in volleyball athletes. Plyometric programs with a duration of 6-12 weeks, a frequency of 2-3 times per week, show optimal results. However, variations in training protocols, subject characteristics, and research methodologies create a heterogeneity of outcomes that need to be considered in practical implementation. This literature review provides evidence-based recommendations for practitioners in designing effective plyometric training programs for volleyball athletes.
