Countermovement Jump Testing in Elite Male Basketball Players: A Scoping Review of Testing Protocols, Force–Time Variables, and Applications

This scoping review aims to systematically map the existing literature on the use of countermovement jump (CMJ) testing in elite male basketball players. The review will examine the testing protocols and methodologies used to assess CMJ performance, identify the force–time variables and other CMJ-derived outcomes reported in the literature, and characterize the contexts and applications in which CMJ testing has been used, including neuromuscular performance monitoring and fatigue assessment. The review will also identify gaps in the existing literature and areas requiring further investigation.
