Understanding how these loaded conditions influence neuromuscular performance is essential for informing physical preparation and readiness monitoring. This study quantified the effects of tactical equipment on countermovement jump (CMJ) and countermovement rebound jump (CMRJ) force\u2013time characteristics in active military personnel and evaluated the within-session reliability of these metrics under loaded and unloaded conditions; (2) Methods: Eighteen male soldiers performed CMJ and CMRJ assessments on dual force plates (1000 Hz) under unloaded and loaded conditions (standardized tactical equipment: 10.6 \u00b1 1.18 kg). Force\u2013time variables were categorized as strategy (phase durations, countermovement depth), driver (mean braking and propulsive force), and outcome (jump height, jump momentum, and modified reactive strength index; mRSI) metrics; (3) Results: CMJ outcome and driver metrics demonstrated good to excellent reliability under load (ICC \u2265 0.87; CV \u2264 8.4%), whereas CMRJ outcome variables showed reduced reliability and greater variability. Loaded conditions reduced jump height and mRSI in both CMJ and CMRJ (p &lt; 0.05), while jump momentum and absolute mean force production increased, whereas force production relative to body mass decreased. During the CMJ (slow-SSC), participants exhibited longer braking and propulsive phase durations, indicating a temporal change in movement strategy under load, whereas CMRJ (fast-SSC) force\u2013time characteristics showed increased contact time and reduced rebound metrics; (4) Conclusions: Overall, fast stretch\u2013shortening cycle tasks appear more sensitive to loading conditions, whereas the CMJ provides a more robust and reliable assessment for monitoring neuromuscular performance in military personnel, particularly when considering both absolute and relative force responses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s26072217","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,6]],"date-time":"2026-04-06T01:12:33Z","timestamp":1775437953000},"page":"2217","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Force Plate Assessment of Neuromuscular Jump Performance Under Loaded and Unloaded Conditions in Military Personnel"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8115-927X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julio A.","family":"Ceniza-Villacast\u00edn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Strength Training and Neuromuscular Performance Research Group (STreNgthP_RG), Faculty of Health Sciences HM Hospitals, University Camilo Jos\u00e9 Cela, 28692 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Grupo de Pesquisa Atleta T\u00e1tico (GPAT), Brazilian Army, Rio de Janeiro 22291-090, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8698-6303","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcos A.","family":"Soriano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Strength Training and Neuromuscular Performance Research Group (STreNgthP_RG), Faculty of Health Sciences HM Hospitals, University Camilo Jos\u00e9 Cela, 28692 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Center for Sport Studies, Rey Juan Carlos University, 28692 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Directorate of Sport, Exercise and Physiotherapy, University of Salford, Frederick Road Campus, Manchester M6 6NY, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9238-8855","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego A.","family":"Alonso-Aub\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Strength Training and Neuromuscular Performance Research Group (STreNgthP_RG), Faculty of Health Sciences HM Hospitals, University Camilo Jos\u00e9 Cela, 28692 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences HM Hospitals, University Camilo Jos\u00e9 Cela, C\/Castillo de Alarc\u00f3n, 49, Villanueva de la Ca\u00f1ada, 28692 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"HM Hospitals Health Research Institute, 28015 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan R.","family":"Godoy-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Training, Central School of Physical Education of the Army, 45006 Toledo, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8028-4418","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ester","family":"Jim\u00e9nez-Orme\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Strength Training and Neuromuscular Performance Research Group (STreNgthP_RG), Faculty of Health Sciences HM Hospitals, University Camilo Jos\u00e9 Cela, 28692 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Physical Education, Sport and Human Movement, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"578","DOI":"10.1519\/SSC.0000000000000766","article-title":"Human Performance Optimization (HPO) for the Warfighter\u2014Keeping It Simple in a Complex Age: A Narrative Review","volume":"45","author":"Nevin","year":"2023","journal-title":"Strength Cond.
