About this study

As literature suggests that anthropometrics such as BMI and height do affect many game outcomes but specific anthropometrics have not been considered before so it is included in this study. Similarly the affects of elastic resistance training for lower limb has been recorded while the literature lacks for upper limb.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • collegiate players of Badminton.
  • Players attending at least two training sessions per week for the past one month

Exclusion criteria

  • Players having strain or sprain of upper or lower limb within the last months
  • Payers having any cardiovascular, neuromusculoskeletal or other systematic pathology.

Treatment and study plan

Elastic resistance training

Other

six-weeks elastic resistance training of upper limb. Three days per week. volume per session would be 10 repetitions and three sets. 2 minute rest interval between each set.

Conventional Resistance Training

Other

players follow their routine exercise protocol
