About this study

Official title: Comparative Effects of High and Moderate Intensity Resistance Training on Strength, Power and Muscle Soreness in Young Football Players

Football playing is an intermittent sport requiring high intensity dynamic movements, such as acceleration, sprinting and jumping. Higher levels of strength and power are crucial for young football players. Overuse includes using a muscle too much, too soon before warming up, or too often in gym, Tension or stress can cause muscle soreness. DOMS is thought to be due to temporary muscle damage and inflammation for which the most common trigger appears to be eccentric exercises. Exercise induced muscle damage DOMS is considered a type1 muscle strain injury that has a pain free period of one day. Muscle soreness peaks between one to two days. The objective of this study is to compare the effects of high intensity-low volume (HRT) versus moderate intensity-high volume resistance training (MRT) on strength, power and muscle soreness in young football players.

Study will be a randomized clinical trial, conduct at Pakistan football federation Lahore through convenient sampling techniques. Sample size will be calculated by using G-power. Randomization will be done by Lottery method. Participants will be divided into two groups. Group A will receive High intensity resistance training and Group B will receive moderate intensity resistance training Strength will be calculated by 1RM and sprint test . Power will be measured by vertical and horizontal jump. Muscle soreness and fatigue will be measured by Hooper and MacKinnon questionnaire. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 25

What is being measured

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

  1. Hooper and Mackinnon Questionnaire

    This questionnaire was used to measure muscle soreness and fatigue .It comprised of five Questions covering fatigue, sleep,level of muscle soreness and psychological well-being. were measured before and after the intervention session ,with reliability of 0.86 with minimum measurement error it had a strong construct validity.(67)

    Measured: six weeks

  2. Vertical and Horizontal Jump

    It is a common test used to gauge athletic performance as well as an exercise for increasing strength and endurance. Athletes compete in the track and field long jump, which tests their strength, speed, and agility as they try to jump as far as they can from a takeoff point. Horizontal jump has reliability of 0.90(0.00) and vertical jump has reliability of 0.86(0.00) will be exhibiting refined concurrent validity.(68)

    Measured: six weeks

  3. 1RM, Sprint Test

    Its reliability was of (ICC 0.90:CV 4.0%) measurement error 5.1 kg and ICC 0.96, measurement error 3.2 kg, respectively) was resulting with good construct validity. hese assessments are frequently used to evaluate an athlete's performance and monitor their development over time in athletic and fitness contexts.

    Measured: six weeks
