Summary

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of an 8-week combined strength and plyometric training program on lower-limb performance and neuromuscular function in male Sanda athletes. Thirty male Sanda athletes were randomly assigned to a strength training group or a combined strength and plyometric training group. Both groups trained three times per week for 8 weeks. Outcomes were assessed before and after the intervention and included standing long jump, countermovement jump, hexagon test, reactive strength index, lower-limb vertical stiffness, and lead-leg Sanda roundhouse kick attack time.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Strength Training

The strength training intervention consisted of periodized resistance training over 8 weeks, with progressive increases in intensity based on one-repetition maximum. Exercises included lower-limb resistance exercises such as squat, deadlift, and lunge variations.

BEHAVIORAL

Combined Strength and Plyometric Training

The combined training intervention consisted of the same periodized strength training program as the strength training group plus a plyometric training component. Plyometric exercises were performed on non-slip rubber flooring, and jump height was monitored before each session.
