Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8-week explosive strength training on competitive MMA athletes and Boxers. Subjects were of mean age 22.63±5.45 years, and the experience of training mean 10.40±2.62. Method: In this study, a total of 32 athletes participated in the training as competing athletes in KDS and boxing branches of GNP Sports Club. The KDS and Boxing groups consisted of 16 people, each of which was an experimental and a control group. Before and after trainings, Bench Press, Bench Pull, Squat 1 RM tests, Vertical Jump, Anaerobic Power and Hextagon Agility tests were taken. While the control groups continued their technical trainings, the experimental groups carried out explosive strength training 3 days a week for 8 weeks in addition to technical training. The data obtained were analyzed in the SPSS 22.0 package program. Results: At the end of the 8-week period, when experimental group pre- and post-test values were compared in 1 RM Bench Press, Squat, Bench Pull and Vertical Jump values, statistically significant difference was found (p<0.05). In the boxer experimental group, in 1 RM Bench Press, Squat, Bench Pull, Vertical Jump, Hextagon Agility test values statistically significant difference was found (p<0.05). 1 RM test Squat, Bench Pull, Vertical Jump values of both experimental groups statistically significant differences were found. (P> 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between 1 RM Bench Press and Hextagon Agility test values (P> 0.05). In the control groups, there was no statistically significant difference in the values of 1 RM Squat, Bench Pull, Vertical Jump, Hextagon Agility test (p> 0.05). In the 1 RM Bench Press test, a statistically significant difference was found (P> 0.05). Conclusions: As a result, 8-week fast strength training applied to the experimental groups of boxers and MMA athletes 1 RM Bench Press, Bench Pull and Hextagon Agility, has been developed to improve the values. 1 RM Squat and Vertical jump test values did not improve.
