NCT05981586

Brief Summary

The Study design will be randomized clinical trial.This study will be conducted in Pakistan Sports Board, Lahore. The study will be completed within duration of eight to ten months after the approval of synopsis. Sample size will be thirty tennis players.Non-probability Convenient sampling will be used to recruit the individuals for the study and then the randomization will be done by lottery method to divide the individuals into two strengthening exercise group. One group is given Plyometric strengthening exercise plan for 5 weeks along with Tennis specific training and on the other hand isotonic strengthening exercise plan for 5 weeks with Tennis specific training and after that their pre and post values will be measured on SPSS version 25. The objective of this study is to Determine Comparative Effects of Plyometric and Isotonic Strengthening Exercises on Speed, Agility and balance of lower extremity among field Tennis Players

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • T-TEST

    The Agility T-test is commonly used to assess the ability of team sport athletes to change direction, including acceleration, deceleration, and lateral movement during testing protocols

    8 WEEKS

  • STAR EXCURSION TEST

    The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a dynamic test that requires strength, flexibility, and proprioception. It is a measure of dynamic balance that provides a significant challenge to athletes and physically active individuals.

    8 WEEKS

  • 20M SPRINT TEST

    Speed tests are typically used solely to measure an athlete's linear speed capabilities. Track sprinters have been shown to accelerate continuously through at least 50m during a 100m sprint event.

    8 WEEKS

Study Arms (3)

SPEED

EXPERIMENTAL

Speed tests are typically used solely to measure an athlete's linear speed capabilities. Track sprinters have been shown to accelerate continuously through at least 50m during a 100m sprint event.

Other: Plyometric strengthening exercisesOther: Isotonic strengthening exercises

BALANCE

EXPERIMENTAL

The person performing the test must maintain their balance on one leg, while using the other leg to reach as far as possible in 8 different directions. The person (standing on his/her left leg for example) must reach in 8 different positions, once in each of the following directions: anterior, antero medial, medial, posteromedial, posterior, posterolateral, lateral and anterolateral. The reliability of the SEBT as being moderate to good

Other: Plyometric strengthening exercisesOther: Isotonic strengthening exercises

AGILITY

EXPERIMENTAL

The T-Test is one of the most important agility Test, used in a lot of different sports all around the world. The test is a combination of different sport specific pattern as forward, lateral, and backward movements

Other: Plyometric strengthening exercisesOther: Isotonic strengthening exercises
