Effects of Plyometric Training on Blood Lactate and Oxygen Saturation During Recovery in Adolescent Muay Thai Athletes
Sponsor: Harun Genç
Summary
This study examined whether adding eight weeks of plyometric training, including jumping exercises, to regular Muay Thai training affected blood lactate levels and blood oxygen saturation during recovery after a Muay Thai bout. Twenty male adolescent athletes were randomly assigned to two groups. One group completed additional plyometric training, while the other continued regular Muay Thai training alone. Blood lactate and oxygen saturation were measured at 5 and 20 minutes after the bout, both before and after the eight-week training period. Changes were compared between the two groups.

Plyometric Training
Participants in the experimental group completed 16 plyometric training sessions over eight weeks, with two sessions per week, in addition to their regular Muay Thai training. The program included 15 stations comprising rope skipping; single-leg jumps with and without arm use; forward single- and double-leg jumps; hexagonal jumping drills; lateral jumps over an obstacle; long jumps with changes of direction; jumps onto and down from a box; forward jumps over cones; alternating-leg upward jumps; tuck jumps; and double-leg jumps with and without arm use. Rope-skipping duration was 5 minutes in weeks 1-2, 10 minutes in weeks 3-4, 15 minutes in weeks 5-6, and 20 minutes in weeks 7-8. At stations 2-15, training volume progressed across these corresponding two-week periods from 1 set of 10 repetitions to 2 sets of 10 repetitions, 3 sets of 10 repetitions, and 3 sets of 15 repetitions. Rest intervals were 30 seconds between sets and 1-1.5 minutes between stations.
