The 1‐way repeated‐measures ANOVA indicated a significant main effect across exercises; p≤0.05; SD= standard deviation; FPP= forward punch plus; CCLE= FPP with contralateral closed chain leg extension; COLE= FPP with contralateral open chain leg extension; ICLE= FPP with ipislateral closed chain leg extension; IOLE= FPP with ipsilateral open chain leg extension; CS= FPP with closed chain serape effect; OS= FPP with open chain serape effect.
