Repeated-measure ANOVA revealed that there was a significant group × time interaction for standing long jump test (p = 0.006), counter movement jump test (p = 0.026), Illinois agility test (p = 0.003), square test (p = 0.018), Nebraska test (p = 0.027), t test (p = 0.032), and hexagon test (p = 0.012) due to the best performance observed at post-test compared with pre-test for DJ60 (effect size = 0.89-2.89), and the improvement was higher than that of the other groups. These findings suggest that 6 weeks of DJ training could improve the lower limb explosive and CoD performance in iScience107972https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10565765biostudies-literatureEffects of different drop height training on lower limb explosive and change of direction performance in collegiate Sanda athletes.PMC10565765Li GYu LChen ZLv YWu WZhang SHou XZhen KfalseEffects of different drop height training on lower limb explosive and change of direction performance in collegiate Sanda athletes.The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of 6 weeks of 40-, 60-, or 80-cm drop jump (DJ) training on lower limb explosive and change of direction (CoD) performance in collegiate Sanda athletes.
