Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study will be a randomized clinical trial conducted at Pakistan sports board and coaching center Lahore and runners club in Lahore. Only female runners aged between 18-30 years having at least 1 year experience will be recruited in study. The participants will be randomly divided by simple random sampling into two groups. One group will perform the big toe muscles strengthening exercises with neuromuscular training and the other group will perform the big toe muscles strengthening exercises without neuromuscular training. The effects of Strengthening exercises of both the groups will be accessed on speed, power and agility of runners. Toe strength will be accessed by toe-hip dynamometer, Speed by 30 m sprint test, power by vertical jump, and agility by T-drill agility test at the start, and at the end of study duration. Statistical analysis will be performed using SPSS-26 providing a comprehensive approach to investigate the effects of bio toe muscles strength with and without neuromuscular training on speed, agility and power among runners.
