The modem stage of development of karate is characterized by a transformation from a traditional oriental martial art into a form of combat sports, the competitive fights of which are highly dynamic. In this regard, the methods and the very approach to building the training process are changing, which indicates the need to develop and use new means and methods of now sports training. The purpose of the study is to develop a WKF karate training program and evaluate its effectiveness in the development of special physical preparedness of athletes from the sports improvement group. We hypothesized that the use of plyometric training in the process of sports training in WKF karate will have a positive effect on increasing the level of special physical preparedness of athletes in the sports improvement group. The study was conducted at the Nizhny Novgorod Regional Sports School “Olympiec” in Nizhny Novgorod from August 2022 to June 2023. The study involved 16 male athletes aged 16-17 years old, who were divided into experimental and control groups. The developed training program made it possible to increase the level of special physical fitness of athletes in the experimental group, which is confirmed by the results of the test set of exercises; the increase in the indicators of the experimental group at the end of the study was more pronounced than in the control group for each of the four tests
