Brief Summary:
Participating in rugby demands specialized skills that encompass explosive movements and diverse muscle actions at varying speeds. Attributes like strength, speed, jumping capability, and agility play crucial roles in executing fundamental rugby skills, including sudden changes of direction, acceleration, and deceleration. Previous research has substantiated the positive impacts of plyometric training in young athletes during the in-season period, indicating the significance of targeted training during this timeframe for sustaining or amplifying explosiveness. Moreover, there is supporting evidence that integrating plyometric training into a traditional rugby training regimen yields favorable outcomes, specifically benefiting speed, vertical jumping performance, and agility. To determine the effects of horizontal versus vertical plyometric exercises on agility, speed, and power among rugby players.
This randomized clinical trial, to be carried out in DHA Rugby Stadium, Lahore, will enlist participants aged 18 to 28, encompassing both males and females, with a minimum of 1 year of rugby experience. The study aims to investigate the impact of horizontal and vertical plyometric exercises on agility, speed, and power in rugby players. Participants will be randomly assigned to Group A, receiving horizontal plyometric exercises, or Group B, receiving vertical plyometric exercises. Evaluation will involve the Hexagon test for agility, the 20m Sprint test for speed, and Vertical jump assessment for power. The results aim to contribute substantiated insights into the pre and post effects of these plyometric exercises on rugby players. Data analysis will be conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 26
