“…Complex training is now recognized as an effective method for integrating strength and explosive power development [ 3 ]. Complex training generally involves the execution of heavy-resistance exercise (HRE) (1–5 repetition maximum (RM) strength) followed by a brief rest interval.…”

Creatine supplementation has an ergogenic effect in an acute complex training bout, but the benefits of chronic creatine supplementation during long-term complex training remain unknown. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of 4-week complex training combined with creatine supplementation on sport performances and muscle damage biomarkers. Thirty explosive athletes were assigned to the creatine or placebo group, which consumed 20 g of creatine or carboxymethyl cellulose, respectively, per day for 6 days followed by 2 g of the supplements until the end of the study. After 6 days of supplementation, subjects performed tests of one repetition maximum (1-RM) strength of half squat and complex training bouts to determine the optimal individual post-activation potentiation time. Thereafter, all subjects performed a complex training programme consisting of six sets of 5-RM half squats and plyometric jumps 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Body composition, 30-m sprint and jump performances were assessed before and after the training period. Moreover, blood creatine kinase (CK) activity was analysed at the first and the last training bout. After the training, the 1-RM strength in the creatine group was significantly greater than in the placebo group (p < 0.05). CK activity after the complex training bout in the creatine group was significantly reduced compared with the placebo group (p < 0.05). No differences were noted for other variables. This study concluded that creatine supplementation combined with complex training improved maximal muscular strength and reduced muscle damage during training.

“…Complex training involves alternating between traditional resistance training (heavy loads) and plyometric exercises (lighter loads) within a single session [4,5,15]. For the complex training protocol, the exercise used for resistance training is the squat with an intensity of 65% 1RM.…”

“…Power has been considered to be an important factor in contributing to the successful performance of sport-specific movements [1]. Power can be developed through the use of many training modalities such as resistance training using a heavier load or plyometric training incorporating either acceleration and deceleration of body weight or a combination of both [2,3,4]. Complex training (CT) has been referred as an alternating specific resistance followed by a biomechanically similar plyometric exercise [5].…”

This study aims to determine the acute effects of complex training with a cluster set configuration on countermovement jump. A crossover counterbalance design was used in this study. Fourteen recreational male underwent three sessions of trainings, with a minimum of 72 hours between each session. In the complex training (CT) protocol, squats with 65% 1RM were used for resistance training while jump squats with 80% of maximum effort for plyometric. Subjects performed the resistance and plyometric training alternately, using either traditional (TRA) or cluster with two sets (CS2). In TRA, no rest was given between the repetitions until they completed the entire set. For CS2, the pairs of CT 30s rest were inserted between the repetitions. The results of the study showed no significant interaction between TRA and CS2 across the all parameters: CMJ height (p> 0.05), power (p>0.050, and velocity (p>0.05) respectively. This study shows that both TRA and CS2 provide better CMJ height, power and velocity during CT. In conclusion, both TRA and CS2 can be adopted in training to enhance power.

“…On the other hand, team sports, such as soccer, volleyball, basketball and handball, are complex intermittent games requiring the repetition of maximal or near maximal intensity activities interspersed with periods of low-to moderateintensity activity, thereby utilizing both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems (18)(19)(20). Traditionally, conditioning training programs for team sport athletes include anaerobic exercises, such as resistance, speed, change of direction and plyometric training (21,22). There is sparse literature examining the ICB phase of aerobicand anaerobic-trained athletes.…”

Background. There is sparse literature examining the ICB phase of aerobic-and anaerobic-trained athletes. Measurements of ICB phase values of athletes can help to evaluate the sport's physiological demands and understand the physiological adaptations in response to physical training. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the isocapnic buffering (ICB) phase and the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) as well as the ventilatory threshold (VT) in trained athletes. Methods. Twenty-eight male endurance athletes and forty male team sports athletes underwent an incremental treadmill test to determine their VT, respiratory compensation point (RCP), and VO2max. The ICB phase was calculated as the difference in Oxygen uptake (VO2) between the RCP and VT and expressed in either absolute or relative values. Results. The VO2max, maximal running speed, time to exhaustion, VO2 at the VT and RCP, running speed at the VT, and VT expressed as % VO2max was higher in the endurance athletes than in the team sport athletes (p < 0.01), whereas the RCP expressed as % VO2max and running speed at the RCP showed similar values in both groups (p > 0.05). Both the absolute and relative ICB phase values were found to be significantly higher in team sports athletes than in endurance athletes (p < 0.001). The relative ICB phase was significantly negatively correlated with the VO2max (-r = 0.517, p < 0.001), the VO2 at the VT (-r = 0.755, p < 0.001), and the VO2 at the RCP (r = -0.517, p = 0.001). Conclusion. The current findings suggest that, for trained athletes, the magnitude of the ICB phase is more closely related to the VT rather than the VO2max and RCP. Presumably, the high-intensity intermittent-type exercises performed by team sports athletes may have improved their buffering capacity, leading to a shift in the RCP without a change in the VT, and consequently enhancing the ICB phase.
