About this study

Official title: Effects of Plyometric Training on Vertical Jump and Dynamic Stability in Volleyball Players With Chronic Knee Pain

The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah Internatinal University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A \& B through random number generator by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive plyometric training. Group B will receive general training.

Read the detailed description

The objective of the study is to determine the effects of plyometric training on vertical jumps and dynamic stability in volleyball players with chronic knee pain.

The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah Internatinal University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A \& B through random number generator by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive plyometric training. Group B will receive general training.

The outcome measures will be assessed by Vertical jump test, Hop test and Y balance test

The data will be analyzed by SPSS, version 25. Statistical significance is P= 0.05.

Being tested
Plyometric training, General exercises

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Plyometric trainingOther

    Jumps in place. Some examples include multiple vertical jumps while reaching an overhead object, squat jump, pike jump, or tuck jump.

    • Standing jumps. Examples include the single leg jump, maximal vertical jump ,standing long jump or lateral long jump.
    • Multiple hops and jumps. Examples would include multiple long jumps or cone hops performed in succession, such as 5 hops in a row
    • Box drills. Examples of these drills include box jumps ,repeated box jumps, and single leg box jumps.
    • Depth jumps. Examples include stepping off the box and landing, stepping off the box and jumping vertically immediately after landing, or stepping off the box, landing, and sprinting.
  • General exercisesOther

    Dumbbell Squat: 3 sets of 15 reps, Dumbbell Alternating Bench Press: 3 sets of 15 reps, Straight Arm Pulldowns: 3 sets of 15 reps, Dumbbell Front Raises: 3 sets of 15 reps, Reverse Flyes: 3 sets of 15 reps, Overhead Tricep Extensions: 3 sets of 15 reps, Dumbbell Bicep Curls: 3 sets of 15 reps, Jackknife Crunches: 3 sets of 20 reps, Oblique Crunches: 3 sets of 20 reps, External Rotation: 3 sets of 15 reps

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Vertical Jump Test

    The Vertical Jump test is designed to measure an athlete's lower body strength

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Hop Test

    In this test, the aim is to jump as far as possible on a single leg, without losing balance and landing firmly.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Y Balance Test

    This is a portion of the Functional Movement Systems screen used to evaluate dynamic balance and functional symmetry in order to determine a person's risk for injury or return to sport readiness.

    Measured: 4 weeks
