Key points

  • Protocol for a systematic review on parachute-resisted sprint training.
  • Focuses on acute and chronic effects on sprint performance and mechanics.
  • Includes healthy, physically active, and athletic populations.
  • Will use Modified Downs and Black for methodological quality and GRADE for evidence certainty.
  • No meta-analysis planned due to expected heterogeneity.

Abstract

This project contains the protocol for a systematic review investigating the acute and chronic effects of parachute-resisted sprint training on sprint performance and sprint mechanics. The review will include healthy, physically active, and athletic populations, and will synthesize evidence from acute and chronic studies using a structured narrative synthesis. Methodological quality will be assessed using the Modified Downs and Black checklist, and the certainty of evidence will be rated by outcome domain using the GRADE approach. No meta-analysis is planned due to the expected heterogeneity in study designs, participant characteristics, intervention protocols, comparator conditions, and outcome measures.
