A common assessment to measure SSC efficiency is the countermovement jump (CMJ). When performed on a force plate, a plethora of different force-time metrics may be gleaned from the jump task, reflecting neuromuscular performance characteristics. The aim of this study was to investigate how different CMJ force-time characteristics change across different parts of the athletic year, within a sample of elite collegiate male basketball players. Twelve basketball players performed CMJ\u2019s on near-weekly basis, combining for a total of 219 screenings. The span of testing was broken down into four periods: pre-season, non-conference competitive period, conference competitive period, and post-season competitive period. Results suggest that basketball players were able to experience improvements and maintenance of performance with regards to various force-time metrics, transitioning from the pre-season period into respective later phases of the in-season period. A common theme was a significant improvement between the pre-season period and the non-conference period. Various force-time metrics were subject to change, while outcome metrics such as jump height remained unchanged, suggesting that practitioners are encouraged to more closely monitor how different force-time characteristics change over extended periods of time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0286581","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,27]],"date-time":"2023-09-27T13:28:14Z","timestamp":1695821294000},"page":"e0286581","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Changes in countermovement jump force-time characteristic in elite male basketball players: A season-long analyses"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7413-0700","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nicolas M.","family":"Philipp","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dimitrije","family":"Cabarkapa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramsey M.","family":"Nijem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8171-7684","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Andrew C.","family":"Fry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0286581.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ypmed.2016.11.027","article-title":"Global participation in sport and leisure-time physical activities: A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"95","author":"R.
