The aim of this study was to determine the effects of cluster set compared to the traditional set during complex training on lower-body power and strength. This quasi- experimental with pre-test and post-test designed study involved thirty subjects who were chosen via stratified random sampling. Subjects were matched according to the baseline relative power values and they were assigned into two groups of control and treatment namely Traditional Set TS (n=15) and Cluster Set CS (n=15). Both groups underwent six weeks of complex training. Power and strength parameters were measured at pre-test and post-test by the countermovement jump and 3RM squat test protocols respectively. Countermovement jumps were recorded using a slow motion video camera at 240 frame per second while the power measurements were derived via My Jump 2 application, both using the iOS 8 software on iPhone 6 smartphone. The 3RM squat measurements were performed using free weights. Both group were level in their relati.....
