Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants will be recruited through non-probability convenient sampling and randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group A (runner-specific resistance training) and Group B (neuromuscular re-education training), with 19 participants in each group. The study will be conducted at the University of Lahore. Inclusion criteria include male and female runners aged 18-30 with at least one years of running experience and no serious injuries in the past six months. Exclusion criteria include current injuries, medical conditions, or involvement in conflicting training programs. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will include the vertical jump test, IKDC questionnaire and SEBT test .Both groups will train three times per week over six weeks, with sessions supervised by qualified coaches for safety and adherence. All participants will provide written informed consent, ensuring confidentiality. This research seeks to inform training strategies in runners, providing insights that may improve performance outcomes for young runners and guide trainers in selecting effective training methods. It also aims to raise awareness of the diverse benefits of different training approaches, potentially increasing youth participation in running and contributing to sports science literature on effective conditioning practices.
