No improvement in maximum jumping height in experienced and less experienced jumpers following a single session of transabdominal, transcutaneous spinal anodal direct current stimulation

Key Points

• Jump height remains unchanged despite the application of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation.
• Performance metrics reveal no differences in squat jumps or countermovement jumps for both experienced and less experienced jumpers.
• Observational analysis involved recreationally active and professional volleyball players across various skill levels.
• Findings suggest a reconsideration of using transcutaneous spinal stimulation in sports training protocols.
