This randomized crossover pilot study estimated the effect of adding 24 bilateral pogo jumps to a standardized warm-up on countermovement-jump (CMJ) and drop-jump (DJ) height, compared with time-matched low-intensity walking. Methods: Twenty-seven male basketball players were recruited, and 21 (age, 16.55 \u00b1 0.88 years) completed both conditions. In randomized order, separated by a 7-day washout, participants performed 3 sets of 8 bilateral pogo jumps with 1 min between sets or approximately 3 min of low-intensity walking. Post-condition jump assessments began after a 1 min recovery and comprised three consecutive CMJs, a 30 s transition, and three consecutive DJs, with all measurements completed within approximately 2 min after each condition. The highest valid trial was retained for each jump type. Period-adjusted treatment effects were estimated using separate linear mixed-effects models, with repeated-measures ANOVA and Wilcoxon analyses retained as sensitivity analyses. Results: The period-adjusted between-condition difference in change was \u22120.89 cm for CMJ (95% CI, \u22122.92 to 1.14; p = 0.389) and 0.34 cm for DJ (95% CI, \u22121.77 to 2.45; p = 0.753). Sensitivity analyses yielded the same overall interpretation. All completers performed the protocol, and perceived exertion was 11.4 \u00b1 1.2. The pogo-jump protocol showed favorable immediate tolerability, with all completers reporting 0\/10 anterior-knee pain immediately after the condition. Conclusions: The pilot estimates did not indicate a detectable group-level improvement in CMJ or DJ height during the early post-conditioning assessment. However, the confidence intervals were compatible with potentially meaningful effects in either direction. The small sample, single dose, single early assessment window, and variable DJ reliability limit the precision and generalizability of the findings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfmk11030366","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,10]],"date-time":"2026-09-10T10:27:21Z","timestamp":1789036041000},"page":"366","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Immediate
