Abstract

The research consists of five chapters. The first chapter presents the introduction and highlights the importance of the study, emphasizing that different training programs produce varying effects on physical abilities. It was observed that coaches who follow a fixed and repetitive training routine may inadvertently cause their athletes' performance levels to plateau. Therefore, the research problem focuses on identifying the effects of different training methods on improving performance standards in kickboxing. The researcher used two experimental groups, each trained with a different method: weight training and plyometric training. The main findings revealed that weight training had a highly positive impact on developing muscular strength, power output, accuracy, and jump distance. On the other hand, plyometric training had significant positive effects on movement speed and vertical jump height from a static position. The combination of weight and plyometric training demonstrated a complementary relationship in enhancing power, movement quantity, and vertical jump height, ultimately leading to improved technical performance in kickboxing
