ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of two different types of strength training—plyometric training and explosive strength training—on basketball players. Plyometric training includes exercises that help improve jumping and quick movements, while explosive strength training focuses on building power in short bursts. The goal is to see which type of training better enhances agility, power, and balance in basketball players.

To participate in this study, players need to be between the ages of 17 and 25 and have at least two years of experience playing basketball. Both male and female players are welcome to join. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one will do plyometric training and the other will do explosive strength training. This study is currently recruiting participants, and it’s important to note that those with injuries or certain health conditions will not be eligible to participate. If you join, you can expect to engage in a structured training program designed to help improve your basketball skills!
