Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Visualization technique

In GROUP A, i.e., visualization technique Athletes will be shown a video of stretching protocols and then will be asked to visualize those exercises, the total session time will be approximately 20 minutes which will be divided into three phases: pre-Session visualization (5-10 minutes) which will begin with 1-2 minutes of deep breathing and mental preparation to start visualization technique then players will be asked to visualize dynamic stretching (leg swings, arm circles, and lunges) and static stretching (hamstring and shoulder stretch) for 2-3 minutes each. Then begins the during session visualization phase (1-2 minutes per stretch) the players will be asked to pause before each stretch to visualize the movements, muscle engagement and the feeling of stretch and the transit between the stretches and then last comes the post session phase of visualization (5 minutes) this will involve visualization of cool down exercises like spinal twist, bicep stretch, triceps and hip stretch.

OTHER

Combined Stretching Protocol

GROUP B will receive Combined stretching training protocol. The overall duration will be 20 minutes starting from warm up (5-7 minutes) which will include light jogging arm swings, leg swings and lunges, hamstring and shoulder stretches then followed by combined stretching movements (8-10 minutes) this will include hip flexor and hamstring combo, calf and Achilles stretch and spinal twist and arm extension movements and ending with a cool down protocol (5-7 minutes) which will include hip flexor stretch, quadriceps stretch and calf stretch, bicep and triceps stretch.
