Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • 1RM squat strength

    The one-repetition maximum (1RM) test is a widely used strength assessment that measures the maximum amount of weight an individual can lift for a single repetition of a given exercise.This test is typically conducted after a proper warm-up and involves gradually increasing the weight until the participant reaches their maximum lift capacity. The 1RM is a valuable indicator of muscular strength and is commonly utilized in strength training programs.

    8 weeks

  • vertical jump

    The vertical jump is frequently used as a measurement of lower-body explosive power in the strength and conditioning field. Coaches and researchers consider vertical jump height as one of the essential athletic skills that translate into increased performance in the athlete's respective sport. Vertical jump training is frequently implemented in sports that require explosive movements

    8-weeks

  • Y balance test

    To perform the Y-Balance Test, an individual stands on one leg and reaches with the other foot to push a sliding box in three directions: anterior (forward), posterolateral (back and to the outside), and posteromedial (back and to the inside), measuring the farthest reach in each direction while maintaining balance. After practice trials, three recorded attempts are made for each direction on each leg.

    8-weeks

Study Arms (2)

Group A

EXPERIMENTAL

20 participants in group A will receive high intensity resistance training, 8-week duration for significant results. Exercises will be performed at starting 50% of one-repetition maximum (1RM) for hypertrophy and strength gains.

Other: High intensity resistance training

Group B

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

20 participants in group B will receive eccentric resistance training, 8-week duration for significant results, exercise training three times a week.

Other: Eccentric resistance training
