The intervention groups trained twice\/week for 8\u00a0weeks. Performance was assessed before and after the interventions using: 10\u00a0m sprint performance, Repeated-Change-Of-Direction (RCOD), Y-shaped agility, T-half, throwing velocity, countermovement jump (CMJ), maximal isometric force and rate of force development (RFD) of knee extension muscle tests. Upper and lower limb muscle volume was estimated anthropometrically. A 3 \u00d7 2 mixed analysis of variance was employed to examine the interaction effects (group x time).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CPRAT led to significantly greater RCOD improvements (p &amp;lt; 0.01) and T-half performance (p &amp;lt; 0.001). No significant difference was observed between CPIT vs. CONT. In contrast, (CPIT) showed significantly greater improvements in lower limb muscle volume and knee extension maximal isometric force (p &amp;lt; 0.05) than CPRAT or CONT. Results between experimental groups remained statistically unchanged for Y-Shaped Test, RFD, and lower and upper limb muscle volume. Results for both experimental groups remained statistically unchanged compared to CONT for 10\u00a0m sprints, throwing velocity, and CMJ height.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The CPRAT protocol is superior for developing multidirectional and reactive agility. The CPIT protocol maximizes isometric strength but has limited transfer to high-velocity dynamic tasks. The CPRAT procedure should be selected when the main purpose is to boost agility and COD. However, when developing lower-limb maximal strength is the primary goal, the CPIT treatment should be applied.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2026.1765655","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,16]],"date-time":"2026-06-16T22:10:20Z","timestamp":1781647820000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Plyometrics with reactive agility or isometrics: divergent effects on change-of-direction ability, sprint, and strength adaptations in adolescent female handball players"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Souad","family":"Rebhi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Laboratory (LR23JS01) \u201cSport Performance, Health and Society\u201d, Higher Institute of Sport and Physical Education of Ksar Sa\u00eed, University of Manouba","place":["Tunis, Tunisia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yosser","family":"Cherni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Laboratory (LR23JS01) \u201cSport Performance, Health and Society\u201d, Higher Institute of Sport and Physical Education of Ksar Sa\u00eed, University of Manouba","place":["Tunis, Tunisia"]},{"name":"Higher Institute of Sport and Physical Education of Ksar Said, University of Manouba","place":["Tunis, Tunisia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehr\u00e9z","family":"Hammami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Laboratory (LR23JS01) \u201cSport Performance, Health and Society\u201d, Higher Institute of Sport and Physical Education of Ksar Sa\u00eed, University of Manouba","place":["Tunis, Tunisia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dustin J.","family":"Oranchuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Physiology and Nutrition, College of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Colorado Colorado Springs","place":["Colorado Springs, CO, United States"]},{"name":"Muscle Morphology, Mechanics, and Performance Laboratory, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus","place":["Aurora, CO, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ren\u00e9","family":"Schwesig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery, Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, University Medicine","place":["Halle, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed Souhaiel","family":"Chelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Laboratory (LR23JS01) \u201cSport Performance, Health and Society\u201d, Higher Institute of Sport and Physical Education of Ksar Sa\u00eed, University of Manouba","place":["Tunis, Tunisia"]},{"name":"Higher Institute of Sport and Physical Education of Ksar Said, University of Manouba","place":["Tunis, Tunisia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"9069","DOI":"10.3390\/app13169069","article-title":"The effect of combined isometric and plyometric training versus contrast strength training on physical performance in male junior handball players","volume":"13","author":"All\u00e9gue","year":"2023","journal-title":"Appl.
