The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\n1. Which training modality (plyometric, functional, or WB-EMS) leads to the greatest improvements in athletic performance measures such as power, speed, and agility?\n2. How do these training modalities compare in terms of their effects on overall health, injury risk reduction, and psychological well-being?\n\nResearchers will use a crossover design, where each participant experiences multiple training modalities in a sequential manner, to provide a more rigorous and comprehensive evaluation of the interventions' effectiveness.\n\nParticipants will:\n\n1. Be randomly assigned to one of four training sequences, each consisting of two 8-week intervention periods separated by a 4-week washout phase;\n2. Experience at least two of the three training modalities (plyometric, functional, or WB-EMS) during the intervention periods;\n3. Maintain their regular training routines if assigned to the control group;\n4. Undergo assessments, including anthropometric measurements, physical fitness tests, and questionnaires, at baseline, after each intervention period, and during a follow-up session.\n\nThe findings of this study will provide valuable insights into the optimal sequencing and combination of training modalities to maximize athletic performance and promote health among university basketball and volleyball players.",[28,29,30],"Athletic Performance","Plyometric Exercise","Healthy",[32,33,34,35,36,28,37],"Plyometric Training","Functional Training","Whole-Body Electrical Muscle Stimulation (WB-EMS)","Injury Prevention","Randomized Crossover Study","Functional Movement Skills","RECRUITING","2025-05-12",{"date":41,"type":42},"2025-05-15","ACTUAL",{"date":44,"type":42},"2024-10-10",{"date":46,"type":22},"2029-10-03",{"name":48,"class":49},"University of Macau","OTHER",2,{"id":52,"slug":53,"hasResults":11,"nctId":54,"briefTitle":55,"officialTitle":56,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":57,"healthyVolunteers":16,"sex":58,"minAge":18,"maxAge":59,"enrollmentInfo":60,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":62,"briefSummary":63,"conditions":64,"keywords":66,"overallStatus":38,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":69,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":70,"startDateStruct":72,"completionDateStruct":74,"leadSponsor":76,"locationsCount":78},"100557335","effects-of-ballistic-six-exercises-with-and-without-blood-flow-restriction-in-cricket-players-100557335","NCT06536777","Effects of Ballistic Six Exercises With and Without Blood Flow Restriction in Cricket Players","Effects of Ballistic Six Exercises With and Without Blood Flow Restriction on Agility, Strength and Functional Ability in Cricket Players","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Male players\n* Age 18-25 years\n* Active recreational players\n* Minimum score on Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic (KJOC) Shoulder and Elbow Score questionnaire should be above 60.\n* In Closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test rest interval should be from 40-45 seconds.\n* Athletes playing cricket with minimum 1 year experience\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Players not actively involved in training and competition\n* History of systemic disease\n* Prior surgery history\n* Ligamentous and GHJ injury\n* Bone deformity\n* Fractures of upper limb\n* Vestibular and visual disorder\n* Pre-existing shoulder pathologies or injuries","MALE","25 Years",{"count":61,"type":22},32,[25],"Cricket is not only a widely played team sport, but it also involves intricate skills that are honed over time, especially in bowling. One of the key concerns for bowlers is the risk of developing shoulder injuries due to imbalances between the agonist and antagonist muscle groups. To address this, the Ballistic Six program focuses on functional exercises that replicate the movements and forces involved in the overhead throwing motion, helping to enhance strength, power, proprioception, kinesthesia, and endurance in the rotator cuff muscles. By incorporating plyometric training in a ballistic, high-velocity manner, the program aims to take advantage of the stretch reflex and reduce the amortization phase of the stretch shortening cycle. Additionally, blood flow restriction (BFR) training has shown promising results in promoting muscle growth and strength. By applying a tourniquet to the arm during intra-set rests, BFR induces muscle hypoxia while restricting venous return, leading to increased lean mass, isometric strength, and muscular endurance in the shoulder and arm. These training methods can contribute to the overall performance and injury prevention of medium pace cricket bowlers.",[29,65],"Blood Flow Restriction Training",[67,68],"Plyometric training","Blood flow restriction","2024-07-31",{"date":71,"type":42},"2024-08-05",{"date":73,"type":42},"2024-06-25",{"date":75,"type":22},"2024-09-25",{"name":77,"class":49},"Riphah International University",1,{"id":80,"slug":81,"hasResults":11,"nctId":82,"briefTitle":83,"officialTitle":84,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":85,"healthyVolunteers":16,"sex":86,"minAge":18,"maxAge":87,"enrollmentInfo":88,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":90,"briefSummary":91,"conditions":92,"keywords":95,"overallStatus":38,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":98,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":99,"startDateStruct":101,"completionDateStruct":103,"leadSponsor":105,"locationsCount":78},"100555252","combined-effects-of-plyometric-and-endurance-training-among-female-hockey-players-100555252","NCT06509672","Combined Effects of Plyometric and Endurance Training Among Female Hockey Players","Combined Effects of Plyometric and Endurance Training on Speed, Agility and Strength Among Female Hockey Players","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Only female hockey players\n\n  * Age 18-24 years\n  * Athletes with at least one year experience in hockey\n  * Athletes must be without previous experience in intense strength\u002Fendurance training\n  * Only players who will participate in at all training sessions will be included in the statistical analysis\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Participants having injuries resulting in loss of one or more hockey matches\u002F training sessions in the preceding three months prior to the initiation of the study\n* Participants with the history of systemic disease\n* Participants with history of lower extremity and lumber spine pathology\n* Participants with prior surgery history","FEMALE","24 Years",{"count":89,"type":22},30,[25],"Athletes need plyometric training as well as endurance training to enhance their speed, strength and agility in the field. Plyometric exercise involves stretching the muscle immediately before making a rapid concentric contraction. The combined action is commonly called a stretch-shortening cycle (SSC). Similar gains of maximal strength have been reported with traditional strength and plyometric training, but the latter approach appears to induce greater gains in muscle power. The combination of balance and muscle strength\u002Fpower exercises seems to be an appropriate possibility, since both modalities induced adaptation on the neuromuscular level.
