Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A
Accentuated Eccentric Loading training
Accentuated Eccentric Loading training
18 particpants will train in AEL group for three days a week for eight weeks and each session will take about 60-75 minutes, focusing on eccentric exercises like back squats, leg press, and hip thrusts at 90% 1RM intensity. Sessions, supervised by coaches, include free weight and weight machine exercises. Performance tests (20m sprint, T-agility, broad jump, 1RM assessments) will evaluate progress at the study's start and end.
Group B
Flywheel exercises
Flywheel exercises
18 particpants will train in FW group for three days a week for eight weeks and each session will take about 60-75 minutes, incorporating compound movements, Flywheel exercises (squats, sprints, jumps), and relevant free weight and weight machine exercises. Supervised sessions maintain consistent parameters. Performance tests (20m speed, T-agility, broad jump, 1RM assessments) will measure improvements at study start and end for evaluation.
