Abstract
This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of plyometric and traditional resistance training methods in improving explosive power among elite Kurash athletes. Twenty-four male athletes were randomly assigned to plyometric (n=12) and traditional training (n=12) groups. The intervention lasted 8 weeks, with pre- and post-tests including vertical jump height and standing long jump distance. Results showed significant improvements in both groups; however, the plyometric group demonstrated greater increases in explosive power indicators. These findings suggest that plyometric training may be more effective for enhancing Kurash performance and should be considered an essential component of conditioning programs.
