Brief Summary

Ballistic and plyometric training are both frequently utilized to enhance physical performance in a variety of sporting activities that require the ability to jump, sprint, and change direction. both are designed to improve explosive power, but they differ in their approaches and focus. Although many studies highlight the significance of both plyometric and ballistic exercises in enhancing athletic performance in badminton players no direct comparison has been made between the two.

In this study we compared the effectiveness of Ballistic exercises versus Plyometric exercises on performance in Badminton players, which is going to help us to select the best possible training program for badminton athletes
