A study testing Plyometric Training in people with Post-Exercise Recovery, run by Harun Genç at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial 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. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: The Effect of Plyometric Training Integrated Into Muay Thai Training on Blood Lactate and Oxygen Saturation During the Recovery Process
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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Plyometric TrainingBehavioural
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.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Blood Lactate Concentration During Recovery After a Muay Thai Bout
Blood lactate concentration (mmol/L) was measured using a Lactate Scout analyzer with capillary blood samples collected from the earlobe at 5 and 20 minutes of recovery after a standardized Muay Thai bout consisting of three 2-minute rounds separated by 1-minute rest periods. Measurements were performed before and after the eight-week training period to assess changes in both groups.
Measured: Baseline and after 8 weeks; at 5 and 20 minutes of recovery after the standardized Muay Thai bout at each assessment.
Change in Peripheral Oxygen Saturation During Recovery After a Muay Thai Bout
Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2, %) was measured using a pulse oximeter at 5 and 20 minutes of recovery after a standardized Muay Thai bout consisting of three 2-minute rounds separated by 1-minute rest periods. Measurements were performed before and after the eight-week training period to assess changes in both groups.
Measured: Baseline and after 8 weeks; at 5 and 20 minutes of recovery after the standardized Muay Thai bout at each assessment.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
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.
