Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomized clinical trial will recruit male football players aged 18-30 years who regularly participated in sports more than 3 years, with a BMI between 18.5-24.9 kg/m².Athletes with smoking habits, those following other specialized training programs, or those taking any drugs that could affect their performance, and had musculoskeletal injury in past 6 months will be excluded. The sample size will be 36 and participants will randomly divided into two groups (18 in each group): Group A: 8-week Harmoknee program, 3 sessions per week (45 minutes each, including warm-up and cool down). Group B: 8-week Bounding program, following the same schedule. The study will measure strength (1RM Test), balance (Star Excursion Test), agility (T-Test), and muscle power (5 Jump Test) at two points: pre-test (before starting) and post-test (after 8 weeks).
