Comparison of Effects on the Movement Velocity of Resistance, Pliometric and Complex Training Methods Applied to Martial Art Athletes

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of resistance, pliometric and complex training methods on the velocity of movement. for this purpose, 30 students who study at gümüşhane university school of physical education and sports and continue their active sports life in combat sports were randomly divided into three different experimental groups (plyometric, resistance, complex training group). the control group of the study consisted of 10 students studying at the faculty of sport sciences of düzce university. in both the pre-test and post-test measurements, the squat jumping exercise was performed at external loads corresponding to 40% of their own weight, and the mean velocity (mv), mean propulsive velocity (mpv), and peak velocity (pv) values were obtained by using dynamic measurement system (t-force dynamic measurement system). in the evaluation of the data; kolmogorov-smirnov normality test, kruskal wallis and wilcoxon analysis methods were used. according to the results of the analysis, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the groups for the 8-week pliometric, resistance and complex training applications in terms of mv, mpv and pv values obtained in the loaded-squat jump exercise (p<0.05). as a result, it was obtained that three different strength training protocol developed the velocity parameters and there was a statistically significant difference between the groups.
