Brief Summary

Muscular power may protect against cardiovascular disease independently of cardiorespiratory fitness. Resistance training is a useful training technique to boost running speed while enhancing other aspect of an athlete's physical condition. Resistance training is also consisting of weight training. Weight training emphasis on health exercise program. Improvements in muscular strength, power, running speed, kicking velocity, endurance, dynamic balance, flexibility, and general motor function have been observed in youth who have participated in resistance training between the ages of 8 to 14 years. These improvements strengthen young athletes' immunity to common sports ailments It will be Randomized Controlled trial in which convenient sampling technique will be used. Two groups will be formed in which participants will be divided by lottery method. Group A in which will be treated By Parachute resistance training and the other group will perform sprinters. Fatigue Assessment Scale and Strength 1RM tool will be used. The result after statistical analysis will either show this intervention is effective or not. Results will be analyzed on SPSS

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Fatigue

  The Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) is a unidimensional fatigue scale to rate how a person usually feels that is scored using a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always). It consists of 10 items, 9 of which were derived from four useful fatigue scales, namely the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS), the Emotional Exhaustion subscale from the Dutch version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Energy and Fatigue subscale from the World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment instrument, and the Fatigue Scale. The satisfactory reliability and content validity of FAS were confirmed. Moreover, this scale is short and easy to use. 10-22 no fatigue, 22-34 mild fatigue, 35-50 severe

  4 weeks

• Strength 1RM

  The one-repetition maximum (1RM) is the heaviest weight that can be lifted just once while using proper form. There are a number of benefits of the 1RM test over traditional laboratory testing. The 1 repetition maximum test more accurately reflects the dynamic muscle actions that are most typically utilized in resistance training and of natural movement in most activities of sport and daily life since eccentric actions are usually paired with concentric actions. Strength in compound movements can be evaluated with the 1RM test. The "gold standard" of dynamic strength tests, according to many studies. One study conducted in the year 2020 found that ICCs might be anywhere from 0.64 to 0.99 (median ICC = 0.97), with the vast majority (92%) having values below 0.90 and the vast majority (97%) having values below 0.80. CVs were observed between 5% and 12.1 % (median CV = 4.2 %)

Interventions

Parachute Resistance Training OTHER

The training programmed duration is of four weeks.The groups will follow the training programmed three times a week. The daily schedule (training group) included four repetitions of maximum intensity 30 m \& 50 m dashes (4 × 30 m, 4 × 50 m). The duration of recovery time between the 30 m \& 50 m runs will be 4 and 6 minutes respectively. Between the last 30 m dash and the first 50 m dash, a 10-minute recovery will be applied. Moreover, sprint speed training should not exceed 400-500 meters in total . To this end, the training programmed of the present study consisted of 4x30m and 4x50m runs, at a frequency of 3 times a week.

Experimental

Sprinters OTHER

control group perform sprinters without any external resistance training for four weeks.
