About this study
Official title: Effects of High-Intensity Functional Training on Physical Fitness and Jumping Difficulty Movement Among University Male Wushu Routine Athletes in China
While prior research indicates the efficacy of High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) in improving physical fitness and skill performance across various sports , its effects on Wushu routine athletes still need to be determined. This study aims to explore the impact of high-intensity functional training on the physical fitness and jumping difficulty of Wushu routine athletes, providing valuable insights for coaches and athletes to optimize training plans. Coaches or sports researchers can use this knowledge to manage the training load of athletes better, thereby helping Wushu athletes achieve better results in Wushu jumping difficulty movements training.
Read the detailed description
In this study, the intervention design part of the researchers referred to Greg Glassman's (2010) "CrossFit training guide" and designed a high-intensity functional training program based on the characteristics of wushu routines . This study employs a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial (CRCT) design. The experimental period of this study is 12 weeks, three times per week. The training lasts 1.5 hours, including one hour of physical fitness training and half an hour of specialized technical training. The sample for this study is male Wushu routine athletes from the Hebei Institute of Physical Education and Hebei Normal University, with 60 participants. Athletes were randomly assigned to two different training locations and divided into experimental and control groups. The specialized skills training content of the two groups is the same, with the only difference being the physical training part. The experimental group received high-intensity functional training, while the control group maintained routine training. In addition, the specific content of routine training for the control group is the school's standard training plan. The dependent variables to be measured in this study are physical fitness (strength, power, speed, endurance, and flexibility) and jumping difficulty movements (Flying Kick, Whirl Wind Kick, Outward Leg Swing in Flight, and Side Somersaults). This study measured the dependent variable three times throughout the intervention: baseline before the experimental intervention, post-test 1 after 6 weeks, and post-test 2 after 12 weeks. Finally, statistical analysis was conducted on the three test results.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Effects of strength among college students
Record the number of push-ups in 1 min.
Measured: Baseline, post-test 1 after 6 weeks and post-test 2 after 12 weeks
Effects of power among college students
Measure the distance of the standing long jump with a measuring tape in centimeters (cm).

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Malaysia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Soh (+60 19-364 9715, kims@upm.edu.my), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Effects of strength among college students (time frame: Baseline, post-test 1 after 6 weeks and post-test 2 after 12 weeks). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06181487, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
