About this study
Official title: Comparative Effects of Plyometric Training and Theraband Resistant Exercises on Agility, Power and Dynamic Balance in Karate Players With Patello Femoral Pain Syndrome
The aim of this study is to find out the Comparative effects of Plyometric training and Theraband Resistant Exercises on Agility, Power and Dynamic balance in karate Players with Patellofemoral Syndrome. Understanding how these methods impact agility, power, and dynamic balance provides practical insights for designing rehabilitation programs.It help therapists to find which evidence-based recommendations are beneficial for maximizing the athletes agility, power, dynamic balance and overall performance or well-being of the karate players with Patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Read the detailed description
The literature gap in this study on the Comparative Effects of Plyometric Training and Theraband Resistant Exercises on Agility, Power and Dynamic Balance in Karate Players with Patellofemoral Syndrome may exist, there might be limited studies specifically addressing this unique combination of factors, further investigation is needed to explore the evidence based effect of these exercises on karate players with Patellofemoral syndrome, considering the interplay between the exercises and the sport specific demands.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Plyometrics TrainingOther
Patient will be given baseline treatment that includes thermotherapy+ TENS+ low intensity high repetition exercises. After we will apply our basic intervention exercise, Plyometrics are primarily used by athletes to improve performance and are used in the fitness field to a much lesser degree. This training focuses on learning to move from a muscle extension to a contraction in a explosive way, for example repeated jumping.
Theraband Resistance ExerciseOther
Patient will be given baseline treatment that includes thermotherapy+ TENS+ low intensity high repetition exercises. After we will apply our basic intervention exercise Therabands is a Set of bands which are primarily use for resistance Training for strength and Power.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
Numeric Pain Rating Scale NPRS is based on 11-point numerical rating scale for determining pain intensity, 0(no pain) to 10(worst pain imaginable) pain intensity .NRS pain has high validity and reliability (β = 0.42 [95% CI 0.04, 0.80]
Measured: 6 weeks
The Kujalapatello femoral
The Kujalapatellofemoral score is one of the commonly used assessment scales for patients with PFP. It provides a functional assessment instrument for knee complaints related to the patellofemoral structure. The scale was designed especially for patients withscoring system will be perform to diagnose Patello femoral syndrome,with a variable ordinal response format high internal consistency (αCoef = 0.83 to 0.91)
Measured: 6 weeks
Agility T Test
Agility will be measured by the agility T-tests,high intra-trail reliability of the test (ICC=0.98). The participants were instructed to run 9.14 meters from the starting line to the first cone, touch the tip with their right hand, shuffle 4.57 meters to the left to the second cone, shuffle 9.14 meters to the right to the third cone, touch with their right hand, shuffle 4.57 meters to the left to the middle cone, touch with their left hand, and then backpedal to the starting line.
Measured: 6 weeks
Star Excursion Balance Test
The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a dynamic test that requires strength, flexibility, and proprioception Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) the intra class correlation coefficients ( 0.86 to 0.92).The SEBT is performed with the subject standing at the center of a grid placed on the floor, with 8 lines extending at 45° increments from the center of the grid. The 8 lines positioned on the grid are labeled according to the direction of excursion relative to the stance leg. The plane was constructed in a facility with the help of a protractor and adhesive tape on the hard tile floor.
Measured: 6 weeks
40-Yd Speed Test
Speed will be measured by the 40-Yd Sprint Test. The test involves running a single maximum sprint over 40 yards, with the time recorded. The aim of this test will be to determine 40-Yd Sprint. Sprints of 40 yd were used to determine quickness ICC > 0.987.
Measured: 6 weeks
Sargent Test
To mark the wall at the height of their jump, the participant applies chalk to the tips of their fingers. After standing away from the wall, the individual uses both arms and legs to help project their body upwards and jumps as high as they can. At the peak of the jump, they try to make contact with the wall. Power will be measured by the Sargent Test. Vertical Jump test is a very common test for measuring explosive leg power intra-rater class reliability ICC = 0.903 to 0.934.
Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Plyometrics Training and Theraband Resistance Exercise in people with Sports Physical Therapy, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06686160, which also lists 12 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Nov 2024.
