Monitoring CMJ-derived metrics and subjective recovery across a competitive microcycle in semi-professional women's volleyball.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeJumping ability is a crucial element for success in volleyball. The countermovement jump (CMJ) is a reliable, non-invasive, and quick tool to periodically assess neuromuscular fatigue and performance, which, in combination with subjective measures, can offer a comprehensive view of fatigue/recovery status. The study aimed to: a) analyze changes in CMJ after a women's volleyball match based on playing time and b) evaluate the temporal perceived recovery and well-being. It was hypothesized that players would recover baseline values of CMJ and subjective variables 48 hours post-match.
methodsA descriptive, and repeated-measures design was proposed. Twelve volleyball players were evaluated for changes in CMJ before and after a match, and at 24, 48, and 72 hours post-match. Outcome variables (jump height and reactive strength index modified), kinetic variables (concentric impulse), and jump strategy variables (movement time and time to peak power) were analyzed. Perceived recovery and well-being scales assessed perceived recovery and well-being.
resultsSignificant changes were observed in jump height, concentric impulse, and reactive strength index modified between pre-match and 48 hours post-match in players with less playing time. In the high-play time group, significant changes in these variables were observed between pre-match and 48 and 72 hours. Perceived recovery and well-being were not significantly affected by match play.
conclusionCompetition did not significantly affect CMJ variables, suggesting that volleyball does not reduce jumping ability immediately after competing, which has direct implications for microcycle structure. The study highlights the importance of continuous monitoring of performance and recovery in volleyball. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size of the study.
