Brief 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.
