This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of reactive balance training versus conventional balance training on dynamic stability and change of direction performance. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups. Each group will receive its respective intervention over a 6-week period. Outcome measures, including dynamic stability assessed by the Y-Balance Test and change-of-direction performance measured using the 505 Agility Test, will be evaluated at baseline and after the intervention. The study is designed to determine which training approach is more effective in improving balance and functional performance.
Male and female competitive tennis players aged 18-25 years.
Minimum 2 years of regular tennis training experience.
Currently training at least 3 sessions per week (minimum 60 minutes per session).
Recent injury (last 3 months)
