Abstract in brief

  • Kettlebell swing training significantly increases maximum strength (measured by half squat 1RM) and explosive power (vertical jump height) in healthy men, with gains comparable to jump squat training.
  • The study shows that six weeks of biweekly kettlebell training effectively enhances strength and explosiveness, providing a good alternative for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
  • Both training methods improved strength and power without a significant difference between them, suggesting kettlebell swings are a valid option for strength conditioning.]
