AB [EN] This study aimed to compare the post-activation performance enhancement induced by successivedrop-jumps performed on hard and sand surfaces in sprint and jump performance of top-level sprinters.Athletes were tested on two occasions. On each visit they were allocated to one of the experimentalprotocols, which consisted of performing 2x5 drop-jumps from a box with the height of 60-cm on hard orsand surfaces in randomized order, seven days apart. Prior to and 7 and 15-min after executing drop-jumps,sprinters performed countermovement jumps and 60-m sprint tests. Differences between sprinting splits andsurfaces were assessed using a two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures. No significantdifferences in jump height or sprint time were observed (p>0.05), regardless of the surface used (i.e., hard orsand) during the conditioning activity (effect sizes [95% confidence intervals] ranging from 0.01 [-0.84;0.84]to 0.44 [-0.42;1.27]). Performing drop-jumps on sand or hard surfaces immediately before maximumsprinting bouts does not provide any advantage or disadvantage to top-level sprinters. Sprint coaches mayprescribe short-plyometric training activities on sand surfaces even close to competitions, bearing in mindthat this strategy will not compromise sprint-specific performance
