Abstract

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the effects of squat (SQ) and hip thrust (HT) training on performance in lower body athletic tasks, across different groups. A comprehensive search was conducted up to 31 May 2024, using PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Embase. SQ training was found to significantly improve vertical jump height (VJH) but greater than the HT. Neither SQ nor HT training had a significant impact on horizontal jump distance (HJD), short sprint time (SST), short sprint performance (SSP) or change of direction (COD) performance. In 12 to 16 sessions subgroup, SQ training significantly improved VJH, showing a medium ES. However, in other subgroups, neither SQ nor HT exercises produced significant improvements in HJD, SSP, SST, or COD performance. Subgroup analyses corroborated these findings. Squat exercises are more effective in developing VJH, while alternatively, no conclusive preference can be made between the exercises for enhancing HJD, SSP, and SST markers. Neither exercise had a discernible impact on COD performance. Future research should focus on conducting higher-quality studies to better elucidate the specific effects of SQ and HT training, or a combination of the two exercises, on various performance metrics.

比较髋关节推力与深蹲训练对亚精英运动员下肢表现的影响：一项系统回顾和荟萃分析。

本系统综述和荟萃分析的目的是比较不同组中深蹲（SQ）和臀突（HT）训练对下半身运动任务表现的影响。全文检索截止到2024年5月31日，检索工具包括PubMed、Web of Science、Scopus、b谷歌Scholar和Embase。SQ训练能显著提高运动员的垂直跳高（VJH），但高于HT训练。SQ和HT训练对水平跳跃距离（HJD）、短冲刺时间（SST）、短冲刺表现（SSP）和方向改变（COD）表现均无显著影响。在12 ~ 16次的亚组中，SQ训练显著改善了VJH，表现出中等的ES。然而，在其他亚组中，SQ和HT运动都不能显著改善HJD、SSP、SST或COD的表现。亚组分析证实了这些发现。深蹲运动在发展VJH方面更有效，然而，在增强HJD、SSP和SST标记方面，没有决定性的偏好。两种运动对COD的表现都没有明显的影响。未来的研究应侧重于进行高质量的研究，以更好地阐明SQ和HT训练或两种训练的结合对各种表现指标的具体影响。

期刊介绍： Sports Biomechanics is the Thomson Reuters listed scientific journal of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS). The journal sets out to generate knowledge to improve human performance and reduce the incidence of injury, and to communicate this knowledge to scientists, coaches, clinicians, teachers, and participants. The target performance realms include not only the conventional areas of sports and exercise, but also fundamental motor skills and other highly specialized human movements such as dance (both sport and artistic). Sports Biomechanics is unique in its emphasis on a broad biomechanical spectrum of human performance including, but not limited to, technique, skill acquisition, training, strength and conditioning, exercise, coaching, teaching, equipment, modeling and simulation, measurement, and injury prevention and rehabilitation. As well as maintaining scientific rigour, there is a strong editorial emphasis on ''reader friendliness''. By emphasising the practical implications and applications of research, the journal seeks to benefit practitioners directly. Sports Biomechanics publishes papers in four sections: Original Research, Reviews, Teaching, and Methods and Theoretical Perspectives.
