ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the effects of a specific type of exercise called Plyometric training on the physical fitness and skills of young male volleyball players. Researchers want to see how an 8-week training program can improve their performance in the sport. The study will include healthy male volleyball players aged 18 to 25 who have been playing the game actively for at least six months. Unfortunately, female players or those with recent injuries will not be able to participate.
Participants in this study can expect to follow a structured Plyometric training program over the course of eight weeks, which will involve exercises designed to enhance their strength and agility. After the training period, the researchers will compare the results to find out how effective this type of training has been. This study is currently recruiting players from Prime Sports Academy and Prime Institute of Health Sciences in Islamabad, and it's a great opportunity for young athletes looking to improve their skills and fitness in volleyball.
