About

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.
