The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of 6weeks of 40-, 60-, or 80-cm drop jump (DJ) training on lower limb explosive and change of direction (CoD) performance in collegiate Sanda athletes. Repeated-measure ANOVA revealed that there was a significant group×time interaction for standing long jump test (p= 0.006), counter movement jump test (p= 0.026), Illinois agility test (p= 0.003), square test (p= 0.018), Nebraska test (p= 0.027), t test (p= 0.032), and hexagon test (p= 0.012) due to the best performance observed at post-test compared with pre-test for DJ60 (effect size= 0.89-2.89), and the improvement was higher than that of the other groups. These findings suggest that 6weeks of DJ training could improve the lower limb explosive and CoD performance in collegiate Sanda athletes and that 60cm may be the optimal drop height.
