Olympic-style lifts (OSL) and plyometric exercises (PE) are frequently combined with traditional resistance training (TRT) to improve athletic performance. The goal of this study was to directly compare the performance effect of TRT (30 minutes) combined with either OSL or nondepth-jump PE (15 minutes) on entry level competitive collegiate athletes. Ten female and 5 male competitive soccer players, divided into 2 groups, completed 12 weeks of tri-weekly training during their off-season. Countermovement vertical jump, 4 repetition maximum squat, 25-m sprint, and figure-8 drill on a 5-dot mat were conducted pre-, mid-, and postintervention. Significant improvements were made by both groups in each performance parameter over the 12-week period (p < 0.05), with no significant differences found between the training groups. Although these training modalities may achieve their results through slightly different mechanisms, the performance-related improvements may not be significantly different for entry-level collegiate athletes with little resistance training experience.
