A short routine of exercices (all groups of muscles). So short reps done fast, as much as you can handle. Plus martial art for the reflexes.

Training that gets your body used to moving in coordination can help with proprioception, which in turn allows you to respond more decisively to stimuli (that response time=reflexes). So for this I would recommend skipping, oly lifts, and anything involving hand-eye coordination (squash, fencing, boxing, etc).

Explosive potential is, from what I understand (and please don't quote me on this), largely genetic, and has to do with an individual's proportion of fast to slow twitch muscle fibers. That being said, it should still be possible to maximize your own potential through CNS training (very heavy lifts) and HIIT comprised of plyometrics and/or sprinting.

In all honesty though, if you're training for a sport, probably the best way to get better at it is to focus a lot of your time on DOING the sport its self. Sparring or practice matches with a partner above your skill level are the GOAT methods for improvement.
