Brief Summary: The goal of this randomized crossover study is to investigate the effects of plyometric training functional training and whole-body electrical muscle stimulation WB-EMS on athletic performance and health in university basketball and volleyball players The main questions it aims to answer are

1 Which training modality plyometric functional or WB-EMS leads to the greatest improvements in athletic performance measures such as power speed and agility
2 How do these training modalities compare in terms of their effects on overall health injury risk reduction and psychological well-being

Researchers 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

Participants will

1 Be randomly assigned to one of four training sequences each consisting of two 8-week intervention periods separated by a 4-week washout phase
2 Experience at least two of the three training modalities plyometric functional or WB-EMS during the intervention periods
3 Maintain their regular training routines if assigned to the control group
4 Undergo assessments including anthropometric measurements physical fitness tests and questionnaires at baseline after each intervention period and during a follow-up session

The 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
Detailed Description: Background Enhancing athletic performance and reducing injury risk require effective training techniques University athletes often practicing only 2-3 times a week need support to reach optimal fitness This study examines the effects of plyometric functional and WB-EMS training on the health and performance of collegiate basketball and volleyball players

Objective The primary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of these training modalities in improving athletic performance metrics such as strength speed agility and endurance Secondary aims include determining their influence on recovery and injury prevention and exploring potential differences in response among athletes from different sports disciplines

Study Design This is a randomized crossover study Participants will be randomly allocated to one of four groups plyometric training WB-EMS training functional training or control group The intervention will consist of two 8-week training periods separated by a 4-week washout period

Participants 120 male and female basketball and volleyball players aged 18-30 from University teams in Macau will be recruited They should have at least 3-4 years of competitive experience in their respective sports

Interventions The plyometric group will focus on explosive movements and jumps The WB-EMS group will perform exercises while receiving electrical stimulation The functional training group will engage in sport-specific exercises The control group will maintain their regular training Each session will include a warm-up specific exercises and a cool-down

Outcome Measures Participants will undergo assessments at baseline post-intervention and follow-up These include anthropometric measurements physical fitness tests eg Y-Balance Test FMS 1RM half-squat leg muscle volume vertical jump agility sprint and questionnaires eg ERQ PSQI SES SWLS

Statistical Analysis Mixed-design ANOVA or ANCOVA will compare the effects across time points Post-hoc tests will determine specific differences between groups and time points Significance will be set at p value smaller than 005
