The effect of complex training and ballistic exercise on the time-course adaptations of lower extremity explosive strength in elite female field hockey players
BE induces rapid short-term improvements in jumping and sprinting but plateaus after 4 weeks. CT produces slower yet sustained gains across all indicators by 8 weeks, with superior strength development. BE is suited for pre-competition phases, whereas CT is preferable during preparatory periods for integrated strength-power adaptation.
