Effects of Low, Moderate and High Drop Height Plyometric Training on Lower Limb Explosive Strength, Anaerobic Power and Change of Direction Performance in Competitive Soccer Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Experimental Group 1, Experimental Group 2, and 1 other intervention for Athletic Performance and Muscle Strength. Currently recruiting, targeting 56 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to determine the effects of different drop height plyometric training protocols on lower limb explosive strength, anaerobic power, and change of direction (COD) performance in soccer players. A total of 56 competitive soccer players aged 18-30 years will be randomly allocated into three intervention groups using sealed envelope randomization: low drop height (30 cm), moderate drop height (45 cm), and high drop height (60 cm) plyometric training groups. Participants will undergo supervised plyometric training three times per week for six weeks. Outcome measures including Vertical Jump Test, Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST), and T-Test Agility Test will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Statistical analysis will be performed using SPSS version 25 to determine within-group and between-group differences.
