About this trial
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.
