The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of plyometric training on a group of athletes who practice rhythmic gymnastics. Three evaluations were made: initial, intermediate and final assessments. The following tests were proposed, which were carried out using Optojump: squat jump, stiffness, gymnastic jump, squat, standing calf exercises. The following exercises were proposed during the experimental protocol: drop jump and step-climbing. The statistical analysis performed (non-parametric Wilcoxon test) showed the validity of the experimental method with significant differences between the two work methods for some tests only.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of plyometric training on a group of athletes who practice rhythmic gymnastics. Three evaluations were made: initial, intermediate and final assessments. The following tests were proposed, which were carried out using Optojump: squat jump, stiffness, gymnastic jump, squat, standing calf exercises. The following exercises were proposed during the experimental protocol: drop jump and step-climbing. The statistical analysis performed (non-parametric Wilcoxon test) showed the validity of the experimental method with significant differences between the two work methods for some tests only.
