Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to determine the effect of plyometric exercises on physical fitness parameters in freestyle adolescent wrestlers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Plyometric exercises are an effective training method that converts strength gains into power by applying specific power (explosive force) training. Plyometric training also dramatically contributes to converting acquired strength into wrestling-specific power. In light of this information, the relatively scarce literature on plyometric training with wrestlers, particularly adolescent freestyle wrestlers, will be studied. This study examines the effects of different plyometric training on physical fitness parameters in adolescent freestyle wrestlers over eight weeks.

The investigators will involve participants who meet the inclusion criteria and who will be randomly assigned to either the control or training group. The training group will undergo plyometric exercise training twice a week for eight weeks in addition to their regular training program. Conversely, the control group will continue their regular training program without additional interventions. Evaluations will be conducted at the beginning and end of the eight weeks to assess the effects of the plyometric training.

The routine training program for the control group participants includes basic strength training (weightlifting exercises), cardiovascular training (biking, running, sprint training, jogging), technical and tactical training, and match-style wrestling. The plyometric training program will be implemented twice a week for 8 weeks, with the number of sets and repetitions of the exercises adjusted weekly to ensure a progressive and safe training regimen.

The investigators will assess the evaluation criteria at the beginning and end of the 8-week training period, comparing pre- and post-training data and conducting intergroup comparisons. Two measurements will be recorded according to these parameters. By the end of the study, the investigators will provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the plyometric training program on the physical fitness parameters of freestyle adolescent wrestlers, supported by robust data.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Training Group

The training group will receive a carefully designed plyometric training program by a qualified and experienced physiotherapist. This program will be implemented twice a week for eight weeks, with the number of sets and repetitions of the exercises adjusted weekly to ensure a progressive and safe training regimen. Evaluations will be conducted at the beginning and end of the eight weeks to assess the effects of the plyometric training.

Plyometric training program:

* Vertical jumps
* Tuck jumps
* Two-legged broad jumps
* One-legged bounding
* Depth jumps from a 40 cm height

Rest intervals between repetitions and sets were set at 15-30 seconds. A 20-minute warm-up period before the program and a 20-minute cool-down period afterwards were planned.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
