Summary

The goal of the current study is to evaluate the plyometrics and resistance band training in recreational football players, aged 18-25 years. The main question it aims to answer are:

Does the plyometrics significantly improve agility and reduce Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)? Does the resistance band training significantly improve agility and reduce RPE? Participants will be assigned to either an experimental group receiving plyometrics or arm comparator group receiving resistance band training, and will complete standardized assessment of agility and RPE before and after the intervention.

Conditions

  • Recreational Football Players

Interventions

OTHER

Plyometrics

Participants in this group will follow a 6-week program targeting the plyometric exercises with warm up and cool down exercises. Warm up and cool down exercises are performed before and after the plyometric exercises respectively, only for 5 minutes. Plyometrics exercises include side jumps, countermovement jumps and double bound leg jumps (3 sets X 10 repetitions, with 1 minute resting between each set, performed 4 days a week for 6 weeks) to improve agility. The intervention aims to improve agility and reduce levels of exertion in recreational football players.

OTHER

Resistance band training

Participants in this group will follow a 6-week program targeting the resistance band exercises with warm up and cool down exercises. Warm up and cool down exercises are performed before and after resistance band exercises respectively, only for 5 minutes. Resistance band exercises include squats, lunges, and side lunges using resistance bands (3 sets X 10 repetitions, with 1 minute resting between each set, performed 4 days a week for 6 weeks) to improve agility. The intervention aims to improve agility and reduce levels of exertion in recreational football players.
