This study aims to determine the effect of plyometric and flexibility training methods to improve the momtong dollyo chagi kick technique in taekwondo athletes. The effect of training programs that combine physical conditions specifically has no results stating that they are interrelated to improve taekwondo kick techniques. The research method used is experimental treatment by level 2 x 2. The results of this study: firstly, there are differences in the leg power of momtong dollyo chagi kicks for taekwondo athletes in the plyometric standing jump and box drill training methods with the results Fo (A) = 12,111 > F-table 4,11. Interaction Fo (AB) = 14,044 > F-table = 4,11 with the percentage effect of plyometric and flexibility exercises of 33.83%. Plyometric standing jump exercise is better for increasing leg power of momtong dollyo chagi kick than box drill exercise for athletes who have high flexibility with t 0 16,496 > t table(0,05:10) 1,688. Box drill exercises are better for increasing the leg power of momtong dollyo chagi kicks than standing jump plyometric exercises for athletes who have low flexibility with a value of t 0 2,455 > t table(0,05:10) 1,688. Thus, it can be concluded that both standing jump plyometric exercises and box drill combined with flexibility can have the effect of increasing leg power, so that the trainer can choose a power and strength training program through plyometric training to prepare for the competition.

“…These results were observed in recreational team sport athletes. Watkins et al (2021) reported different periodization strategies (undulating, linear, or a combination) in their study on the implementation of PT. However, it is important to consider the previously mentioned concerns regarding the definition of periodization when interpreting findings from studies like this.…”

“…Moreover, PT accommodates well to other training methods (e.g., highintensity interval training; balance training), i.e., no negative interference or transfer effect has been observed (Chaabene, et al, 2021;Hammami, et al, 2021). Although the body of knowledge regarding PT effects has increased considerably (Ramirez-Campillo, et al, 2020b), some topics still need further research, including optimization strategies for PT volume, intensity, weekly frequency, type of exercise, and its effects on different groups of athletes (Di Giminiani & Petricola, 2016;Ebben, 2007;Ebben, Suchomel, & Garceau, 2014;Matic, et al, 2015;Watkins, Storey, McGuigan, & Gill, 2021).…”

This systematic scoping review aimed to comprehensively identify and analyze the available evidence pertaining to the effects of plyometric training interventions on handball players. The search for relevant literature was conducted across prominent databases, including PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science Core Collection. The eligibility criteria focused on healthy handball players, without restrictions on age, sex, or competitive level, who were exposed to plyometric training interventions, either alone or in combination with other training methods. A meticulous screening process was conducted, whereby 3,195 titles were carefully evaluated, resulting in the inclusion of 35 eligible studies in this systematic scoping review, involving a total of 891 participants. Most studies on plyometric training in handball focused on indoor settings, conducted during the in-season period, and involved tier two athletes. The training frequency typically ranged from twice per week, with a duration of between 5 and 12 weeks, and incorporated some form of progressive overload. The number of total floor contacts varied between 20 and 600. There was a considerable variation in outcomes across the included studies, but most of them demonstrated a positive impact of plyometric training on improving jumping ability, sprinting speed, change of direction, strength, and balance. In conclusion, the predominant focus of the studies was on the lower limb, specifically aiming to assess the intervention influence on variables associated with strength and power. Notably, these investigations consistently highlighted favorable effects on enhancing these parameters among handball players. However, further research is needed to explore the effects of plyometric training in handball, particularly regarding exercise selection, optimal volume and intensity, rest intervals, and tapering protocols.

“…Plyometric work produces an improvement in sprinting performance (up to 0.1 seconds in 50 meters) and jumping (up to 4 cm). Horizontal jumps (especially unilateral exercises) appear to provide 20-25% more peak power (especially in the ankles) and greater transfer to sprinting than vertical jumps, but they also generate greater joint stress and should therefore be limited (Suchomel et al, 2018;Morris et al, 2022;Lievens et al, 2021;Watkins et al, 2021).…”

“…The recommended work are sets of 4-8 jumps, 1-2 minutes recovery and a total volume of 60-200 low intensity jumps and <60 high intensity jumps. High intensity sessions must be separated ≥1 week (Lievens et al, 2021;Watkins et al, 2021).…”

Masters athletes have been considered a paradigm of successful aging, which research has shown that many of the age-associated physiological changes are more related to external factors to aging itself, such as sedentary lifestyle and deconditioning. Sprint training always poses a challenge, even more in such demanding athletes as masters sprinters, given that age mainly affects those physical capabilities that are most determinant of sprint performance, such as speed, strength, flexibility, and coordination. The main purpose of this paper was to comprehensively review masters sprinters training, emphasizing certain aspects that are especially relevant in these athletes, such as training principles, specific resistance training, recovery strategies, and invisible training.
