Detailed description: The objective of the study is to determine the effects of plyometric training on vertical jumps and dynamic stability in volleyball players with chronic knee pain.

The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah Internatinal University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A \& B through random number generator by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive plyometric training. Group B will receive general training.

The outcome measures will be assessed by Vertical jump test, Hop test and Y balance test

The data will be analyzed by SPSS, version 25. Statistical significance is P= 0.05.
