Abstract

The study aimed to identify the effect of differentiated training using the French method. The researcher used the experimental method with a single-group design with a pre- and post-test. The researcher selected (7) young boxers who were subjected to training for eight weeks, which consisted of using successive series of four types of exercises: strength exercise with an intensity close to the maximum load, then plyometric exercise in the same direction of movement, then resistance exercise, and finally plyometric exercise with assistance. The results showed significant differences between the pre- and post-tests in favor of the post-tests. Accordingly, the researcher recommended emphasizing the adoption of exercises in the same direction and for the same muscle groups in each training series.
