Participants were </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;">randomly separated into three study groups; weighted jump rope training (n=8), standard jump rope training (n=9) and control group (n=8). All participants were assessed at baseline and after </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;">12-week training. Physical fitness was measured by using vertical jump test, 30-meter sprint test, hexagonal obstacle test, zigzag test and sit and reach test. Repeated-measures ANOVA was used </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;">for statistical analysis. </span> </p> <p> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;font-weight:700;">Results: </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;">Comparisons showed that after 12-week training, weighted jump-rope training resulted in higher improvements in anaerobic power (p=0.03) and agility (p=0.003) when compared to control training; and higher improvement in agility when compared to standard jump rope training </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;">(p=0.001). In addition, at the end of training, speed and flexibility gains were similar in all groups (p>0.05). </span> </p> <p> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;font-weight:700;">Discussion: </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;">Weighted jump rope training resulted in higher improvements of anaerobic power and agility in female adolescent volleyball players. The findings of the study provide basic knowledge for developing training protocols for adolescent volleyball players.  </span> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>}, number={3}, publisher={Türkiye Fizyoterapistler Derneği}
