Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) Coaching Center, Lahore. 18 Subjects will be randomized into two groups; Heavy slow resistance exercises plus eccentric exercises will be given to group A and exercises of 4 sets of 10-20 repetitions will be given. Group B will give Eccentric exercises in 3 sets of 10-20 repetitions. Pre-assessments will be taken through the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain, a goniometer for range of motion, Lower extremity function assessment scale to evaluate lower limb functional impairments, and a Visa-P scale for patellar dysfunction. Assessment will be done at baseline and post 4 weeks of training. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 21. The normality of data will be checked, and tests will be applied according to the normality of the data, either parametric or non-parametric tests will be used (within a group or between two groups).

Group A (Heavy Slow Resistance exercises)
Group A (Heavy Slow Resistance exercises)
Pre - assessment will be taken. Heavy slow resistance exercises will be given to group A and exercises of 4 sets of 10-20 repetitions will be given
Group B (Eccentric exercises).
: Group B (Eccentric exercises)
Sessions should be conducted 2 times per week, similar to Group A, in 3 sets of 10-20 repetitions. Exercises focus solely on eccentric loading, such as eccentric squats, eccentric leg presses, and step-down exercises.
