Methods: Eighteen athletes volunteered to participate (body mass = 63.0 \u00b1 7.2 kg; height = 171.4 \u00b1 6.5 cm; age = 16.4 \u00b1 1.2 years), completing testing at three time points: (i) pre-practice, (ii) post-practice, and (iii) 45\u201360 min following a randomly assigned recovery intervention. At each time point, athletes performed three countermovement vertical jumps on a dual force plate system sampling at 1000 Hz (VALD Performance). To standardize external load across groups, all players wore inertial measurement units (Kinexon). Results: The two-way repeated measures ANOVA showed no statistically significant interaction (p &gt; 0.05) between the three testing time points and recovery modalities for any of the analyzed variables. However, a significant main effect of time was observed, with 13 of 20 force-time metrics (65%), including jump height, reactive strength index-modified, contraction time, and concentric peak and mean force, declining post-recovery compared with pre-practice values, regardless of the recovery intervention applied. External load measures (e.g., total distance, number of jumps) remained consistent across groups. Conclusions: Overall, these findings suggest that CWI, CRT, and IPC were no more effective than passive recovery (i.e., control group) in mitigating post-practice declines in lower-body force and power-producing capacities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfmk11010044","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,21]],"date-time":"2026-01-21T08:48:08Z","timestamp":1768985288000},"page":"44","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Acute Effects of Three Recovery Interventions on Post-Practice Vertical Jump Force-Time Metrics in Female Basketball Players"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9912-3251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitrije","family":"Cabarkapa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"D2 Lab, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"},{"name":"Jayhawk Athletic Performance Laboratory\u2014Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Damjana V.","family":"Cabarkapa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D2 Lab, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"},{"name":"Faculty of Physical Education and Management in Sport, Singidunum University, 11010 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dora","family":"Nagy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Doctoral School of Health Sciences, University of Pecs, 7602 Pecs, Hungary"},{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Institute of Physiotherapy and Sport Sciences,  University of Pecs, 7602 Pecs, Hungary"},{"name":"Center for Basketball Methodology and Education, 7621 Pecs, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Repasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Basketball Methodology and Education, 7621 Pecs, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tamas","family":"Laczko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Institute of Physiotherapy and Sport Sciences,  University of Pecs, 7602 Pecs, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laszlo","family":"Ratgeber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Doctoral School of Health Sciences, University of Pecs, 7602 Pecs, Hungary"},{"name":"Center for Basketball Methodology and Education, 7621 Pecs, Hungary"},{"name":"Department of Sport Games, Hungarian University of Sports Science, 1123 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cabarkapa, D., Cabarkapa, D.V., Aleksic, J., Scott, A.A., and Fry, A.C.
