About this study
Official title: Comparative Effects of Pilates and Plyometric Training on Physical Performance of Volleyball Players
Volleyball is one of the famous games which is used in order to enhance and increase physical and game oriented skills in athletes and players. The main goal of athletic training and sports participation is to enhance athletic performance. Different types of training regimes (Pilates and Plyometric) are used on athletes to increase their physical performance. As volleyball is the game of power agility as well as speed. Physical fitness is one of the important parameters of this game. So, Pilates training strengthens the deep core muscles and improves movement, efficiency and muscle control. And plyometric training is to increase the power of subsequent movements using both natural elastic components of muscle and tendon and the stretch reflex. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Pilates and Plyometric, on physical performance of volleyball players.
Read the detailed description
This will be a Randomized Clinical Trial that will be conducted at Pakistan Sports Board and Coaching Centre, Lahore. Participants of the study are 38 that will be randomly allocated into 2 groups. The group A will perform Pilates three times per week for 6 weeks and group B will follow Plyometric training three times per week for 6 weeks. Participants of both groups will follow their regular warm up regime and nutrition plans. All participants will undergo a pre and post treatment test via Functional movement's screen test (FMST), vertical-jump test (VJT), 30m sprint test, sit and reach test. The data will be analyzed via SPSS version 21.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Vertical jump test
The Vertical Jump test is designed to measure an applicant's lower body strength. The applicant then crouches and using the arms and legs jumps as high as possible extending the dominant arm. Upon reaching the top of the jump the applicant must tap the gauge "fins" to mark the jump height.
Measured: 6 week
Sit and reach test
The Sit and reach test is one of the linear flexibility tests which helps to measure the extensibility of the hamstrings and lower back. It was initially described by Wells and Dillon in 1952 and is probably the mostly used flexibility test.
Measured: 6 weeks
30m sprint test
The aim of this test is to determine acceleration and speed.The test involves running a single maximum sprint over 30 meters, with the time recorded.
Measured: 6 weeks
ILLINOIS AGILITY TEST
The objective of this study is to monitor the athletes development in Agility. This test the subjects ability to turn in different directions and quickly change speeds. 37
Measured: 6 weeks
