Effects of Match Play Exercises and Plyometric Training on Explosive Power, Agility and Functional Performance

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Technique is the most important part of football for scoring goal and in defense of the goal lower limbs are the most important part of the player to be focused on as moving with the ball and training method is important in training football players for their matches. Use of training method in football players can either be a match play training or plyometric training. Plyometric training is considered an effective tool for increasing tendon stiffness. Plyometric training produces improvements in jump performance and lower body strength performance. A training program for young football players, using minimum equipment and effort, can result in improved player performance and a reduction in the risk of a possible overuse injury, reflected by an improvement in lower limb range of motion. Match play training patterns are mostly followed by the coaches to enhance the performance and plyometric are used for the efficient training programs. This study will be a randomized clinical trial conducted at Pakistan sports board in Lahore. The study will be completed within the time duration of Six months. Non probability convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 15 participants each group will be taken in this study to find the effects of match play exercise versus plyometric on explosive power, Agility and functional performance in football players. Football players will be divided into 2 groups Group A will be given the match play training and Group B will be given plyometric trainings and at the end of the 6 week the results will be checked on power, agility and fictional performance. Power: (MRC scale) , Agility: Comprehensive Agility Measurement Tool (CAMT), Functional Performance: The Functional Movement Scale (FMS) tools will be used to measure the difference between the training pattern of 6 weeks which is more effective for the football players. The data will be collected using the SPSS 24. In descriptive statistics Frequency tables, pie charts, bar charts will be used to show summary of group measurements measured over time... The objective of this study is to Determine Comparative Effects of Match play training and plyometric training on Explosive power, Agility and Functional performance in football players.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Power | Vertical jump tests are among the most common means of evaluating physical fitness in various populations. Though principally used to evaluate leg power in sports, such as basketball and football. vertical jump tests have also been used to evaluate non-athletic populations (including children (Acero et al., 2011) and elderly people (Pereira et al., 2012)), particularly because vertical jump training has been reported to improve bone mineral density (Allison, Folland, Rennie, Summers, & Brooke-Wavell, 2013). Vertical jump tests have been proposed as important for talent identification purposes, with young elite athletes displaying higher values than their non-elite counterparts.(13) | 6 weeks | 
| Agility | Agility is an important characteristic of team sports athletes. There is a growing interest in the factors that influence agility performance as well as appropriate testing protocols and training strategies to assess and improve this quality. Agility tests generally offer good reliability, although this may be compromised in younger participants responding to various scenarios. A human and/or video stimulus seems the most appropriate method to discriminate between standard of playing ability. Decision-making and perceptual factors are often propositioned as discriminant factors; however, the underlying mechanisms are relatively unknown.(14) | 6 weeks | 
| The Functional Movement Scale (FMS) | Functional (e.g., deficits in balance and strength/power performance), neural (e.g., loss of sensory/motor neurons), muscular (e.g., atrophy of type-II muscle fibers in particular), and bone-related (e.g., osteoporosis) deteriorations. Traditionally, balance and/or lower extremity resistance training were used to mitigate these age-related deficits. However, the effects of resistance training are limited and poorly translate into improvements in balance, functional tasks, activities of daily living, and fall rates. | 6 weeks |
