Brief Summary

Ballistic and plyometric training are both frequently utilized to enhance physical performance in a variety of sporting activities that require the ability to jump, sprint, and change direction. both are designed to improve explosive power, but they differ in their approaches and focus. Although many studies highlight the significance of both plyometric and ballistic exercises in enhancing athletic performance in badminton players no direct comparison has been made between the two. In this study we compared the effectiveness of Ballistic exercises versus Plyometric exercises on performance in Badminton players, which is going to help us to select the best possible training program for badminton athletes

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Push up test

  The Test demanded that the test subject lie face down on the floor with their elbows pointing backward down their side, their hands beneath their shoulders, and their fingers pointing forward. The individual's body weight rested on their hands and toes after pushing themselves to full arm extension; The up position was this. Then, maintaining a straight body, the person lowered himself until the entire body, from the chest to the thighs, made contact with the ground. Then the participants returned to the up position after being pulled up to full arm extension. One push-up test was made up of these up and down steps. from enrollment to the end of treatment up to six weeks

  six weeks

• Closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test

  On a tiled floor, athletic tape strips were positioned 36 inches apart and parallel to one another. The test began with one hand in the push-up position on each piece of tape. From the beginning, the patients were told to reach across their body with one hand and touch the piece of tape underneath the other hand. The hand was put back in the beginning position after touching the tape line. The patient then used the other hand to make the same motion. The testing lasted 15 seconds in total. from enrollment to the end of treatment up to six weeks

  six weeks

• Seated medicine ball throw test

  Each athlete started the test by holding the 2 kg medicine ball with both hands, resting it firmly against their chest. The task was to throw the ball forward as far as possible using a chest press motion, a movement that primarily engages the chest, shoulders, and arms in an effort to achieve maximum distance. from enrollment to the end of treatment up to six weeks

  six weeks

• Unilateral single arm shot put test

  To evaluate upper body strength and power, a 3-kilogram medicine ball was used. On the floor, athletes sat with their feet flat, knees bent at a 90-degree angle, and backs against the wall on the floor for stability. They were positioned next to a doorway to allow unrestricted arm movement on the test side. The participants were instructed to hold the medicine ball at shoulder height and push it forward-rather than throwing it-using an explosive chest press motion to propel it as far as possible. from enrollment to the end of treatment up to six weeks

Ballistic group

OTHER

Ballistic training program was set for 6 weeks. Each week consisting of 5 exercises with sets of 3 and repetitions of 10,15 and 20 times, recovery time and training intensity differed each week.

Other: Ballistic Exercises

Plyometric Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Plyometric training program was set for 6 weeks. With four exercises in 1st week. Five in 2nd and 3rd weeks, six exercises in 4th and seven exercises in last two weeks. Each exercise consisted of 3 sets with 10, 15 and 20 repetitions in each. Recovery time and training intensity differed each week.
