| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group A | Experimental | 15 participants will be in control group This group perform conventional strength and conditioning exercises focusing on isolated muscle groups, cardiovascular endurance, and static stretching. Sessions will follow a similar frequency and duration. Receives: Other: Group A; Other: Group B |
| group B | Experimental | 15 participants will perform undergo Functional Movement Training, focusing on exercises targeting mobility, motor control, movement pattern correction, and dynamic stabilization. Training sessions will occur thrice a week for eight weeks under professional supervision Receives: Other: Group A; Other: Group B |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Functional Movement Screen (FMS) - for Stability
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a standardized screening tool developed to assess fundamental movement patterns, mobility, motor control, and core stability. It comprises seven movement tasks: deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight-leg raise, trunk stability push-up, and rotary stability
Measured: 8 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
Illinois Agility Test (IAT) - for Agility
The Illinois Agility Test (IAT) is a field-based test designed to assess an athlete's speed, agility, and ability to change direction rapidly.
Measured: 8 weeks
Y-Balance Test (YBT) - for Dynamic Balance
The Y-Balance Test (YBT) is a performance-based test used to assess dynamic balance and postural control. It requires the athlete to stand on one leg while reaching in three directions-anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral-with the opposite leg.
Measured: 8 weeks
