Quick search on PubMed doesn't actually turn up that much.
Effects of in-season short-term plyometric training program on sprint and jump performance of young male track athletes. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25647644
Acute potentiating effect of depth jumps on sprint performance. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23799423
This abstract seems to indicate that power and stretching training increase depth jump height and also ground contact time during depth jumps, i.e., those things are correlated. Interesting. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11880813

i think it's chrondomalacia patella, but really all that means is "the cartillage behind the patella hurts because something is wrong." anyway gonna focus on quad activation and just hope it passes like most of the aches and pains i've had over the years. meantime i will soldier on.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings and glutes a little
ACHES/INJURIES: intestines (something i ate for lunch i think); ankle and thumb not fully healed; right knee fine today
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- DLRVJ x a few
very unexplosive, clearly affected by soreness and gut business
- squat 295 x 3,3,3
- superset x 3
-- assisted natural GHR x 10
-- inverted row x 10,10,21(F)
-- pistol +10 x 5; +7.5 x 5,5
-- dip x 10
reducing weight on pistols makes them harder
- stretch
not a horrible workout given the intestinal distress. no diarrhea or nausea, just feel wack.

huh. quick pubmed review showed a couple of small studies with modest support or neutral (i.e. null) results. at the very least it looks like it won't hurt you.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee WTF
MENTAL STATE: okay
- warm up
- SVJ x 4
- depth jump x 3
stopped, right knee pain clearly exacerbated by the jumps. not productive. need to figure out what's going on there. at least i know it's not psychosomatic with me subconsciously sabotaging myself on days when i'm geared up to jump max.
- superset x 3
-- pull up x 7
-- dip x 10
- DB SLRDL 50s x 10,10
was planning to squat but knee not interested.
- stretch
wack workout, better than nothing.
