Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Age group between 18 to 26 years.
  • Both males and females.
  • At least 2 years of experience in competitive football
  • Regular participation in football training, at least 2 days per week.
  • Should be free from significant injuries in the last 6 months

Exclusion criteria

  • Chronic conditions (e.g., joint issues, cardiovascular diseases, history of severe neurological deficit)
  • Any recent core or back injuries (low back pain) within the past 6 months.
  • History of any fracture or trauma
  • Having any neurological disease
  • Any chronic musculoskeletal disorder
  • Any systemic illnesses

Treatment and study plan

Moderate intensity Circuit training

Other

Group A will engage in a circuit training protocol designed to enhance agility, power, and core strength over six weeks. Each session will commence with a 5-minute general warm-up to increase heart rate, followed by a static stretching routine targeting major muscle groups such as the hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves, with each stretch held for 15 to 20 seconds to improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.

Moderate intensity Complex training

Other

Group B will undergo complex training protocol aimed at enhancing agility, power, and core strength for six weeks. Each session starts with a 5-minute general warm-up, followed by a static stretching protocol to enhance muscle flexibility, covering key muscle groups like the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves, with each stretch held for 15-20 seconds.

Primary outcomes

  1. 5-JUMP-TEST (FOR AGILITY):

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    The 5-jump test is a simple physical assessment used to evaluate an individual's explosive power and agility, particularly in terms of lower body strength. It involves performing five consecutive horizontal jumps in a row, with

  2. T TEST AGILITY (FOR AGILITY)

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    The T-test for agility is a reliable and valid measure to assess an individual's quickness and directional change ability. To ensure reliability, the test should be administered multiple times (test-retest reliability) and checked for consistent scoring between trials, ideally resulting in an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) above 0.75, which indicates good reliability. Additionally, inter-rater and intra-rater reliability should be examined if multiple evaluators are involved

  3. 1 Repetition Maximum (1RM) Test (Planks)

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    The 1 Repetition Maximum (1RM) Test is commonly used to assess the maximum amount of weight an individual can lift for one complete repetition of an exercise.

    However, when referring to planks, it typically isn't a traditional 1RM test since planks are a isometric exercise (where the body remains static rather than lifting weight). In the context of planks, the "1RM" concept could be adapted to measure how long a person can hold a plank position with correct form
