Clinical Trial Summary
Football is a trendy sport in the world. A typical footballer runs more than 10 kilometers in
an average game of 90 minutes. FIFA regulates the sport of football and the world cup is
conducted every 4 years. Plyometric exercise training uses speed and different forced
movements to build muscle power. Plyometrics training improves physical performance and the
ability to do different activities. Strengthening exercises are designed to increase the
strength of specific groups of muscles. Strengthening exercises overload the muscle until the
point of muscle fatigue. By conducting the study, it will help us to make a better
understanding that whether plyometrics or strength training is more effective so that we can
cooperate it into the regular exercise of the football player so that their sports
performance can be enhanced.
Description:
It will be a randomized clinical trial. It will be conducted at the Pakistan sports board and
coaching center, Lahore. A sample of 40 athletes will be taken using convenient sampling.
Athletes will be randomly allocated into two groups. Group A was given plyometrics and group
B was given strengthening exercises. Athletes will be assessed using a 20m sprint test and an
Illinois agility test before the initiation of the exercise regimen. Athletes will perform
plyometrics 5 days a week and strength training twice a week for 6 weeks. Athletes will be
reassessed after 6 weeks. Statistical analysis will be used to determine their effects with
the help of the software SPSS 25.
