2.3. Procedures
MAY
The EG underwent the 8 week combined functional CPT program, featuring three 30 min sessions a week (a total of 24 sessions), from 19 March 2020 until 15 May 2020. The CG followed their regular training regimen over the same number of sessions.All participants were tested 2 weeks before and2 weeks after the 8 week intervention. Prior to the testing session, the order of the participants and the two tests was randomly determined using a true random number generator to control for bias. Jump tests were carried out over 2 weeks, in the pre-test and post-test, by a sport-specialized physiotherapist unaware of each subject’s allocation group. The gymnasts performed a 15 min warm-up of cardiovascular activation and dynamic stretching exercises before the tests.
