The aim of this study will be to understand the effects of combined preconditioning strategies on performance. Materials and methods: The following PConSt were combined: morning resistance exercise (MRE), active warm-up (AW-U), hormonal preconditioning (HP), post-activation potentiation (PAP) and ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Seventeen recreational active male (age: 24.45 ± 3.55 years, height: 181.26 ± 5.76 cm, body weight: 79.82± 2.33 kg) volunteered for this study. The Wingate anaerobic power and capacity test (WAnT) was used to determine anaerobic performance. All participants were randomly assigned to pre-test, PConSt and Sham interventions. For the PConSt group, MRE, IP, AW-U, HP and PAP were implemented sequentially before the WAnT. No effect strategies were used for the Sham intervention. Results: The findings indicated significant increases in anaerobic performance after combined training in the Peak Power (PP) and Performance Decrement (p < 0.05). A percentage change of 18.11% was found in the PP values obtained after PConSt and Sham interventions, and an increase of 9.55% was observed when the percentage increase from the sham intervention was removed in order to eliminate the psychological effect. Conclusion: It was found that a combined preconditioning strategy intervention increases anaerobic performance.
