This study aims to compare the effects of repetitive sprint and calisthenics training methods on athletic
performance improvement. The study was carried out with the voluntary participation of 20 international level
kickboxers. Athletes were randomly assigned into two groups as Repetitive Sprint Training Group (RSTG) (n=10;
̄age: 20, 20±1,32 years) and Calisthenics Training Group (CTG) (n=10; age: 21,20±1,23 years). Athletes
participated in the training of their groups for six weeks, three times a week, every other day. The effects of
training methods on the performance improvement of athletes were examined by measurements and tests
performed at the pre-test (T1), interim-test (T2), and post-test (T3) stages. Athletes' height, body composition
(body weight, body mass index, body fat mass), aerobic endurance (VO2max), peak anaerobic power, and
isometric leg (knee, flexion-extension) strength values (60º/sec- 90º/sec) has been examined. At the end of the
study, the data were analyzed at a 95% significance level. The results of the study revealed that the repetitive
sprint and calisthenics training methods were effective on body composition, aerobic endurance, anaerobic power,
and isokinetic strength parameters (p1<0.05), but the effect level was similar in both training methods (p2>0.05).
Repetitive sprint and calisthenics training methods are both effective in regulating the body composition of athletes
and accelerating aerobic endurance, power, and strength progress, but when designed at similar training intensity,
both methods have similar effects.
