Interventions

Moderate intensity Circuit trainingOTHER

Group A will engage in a circuit training protocol designed to enhance agility, power, and core strength over six weeks. Each session will commence with a 5-minute general warm-up to increase heart rate, followed by a static stretching routine targeting major muscle groups such as the hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves, with each stretch held for 15 to 20 seconds to improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.

Moderate intensity Complex trainingOTHER

Group B will undergo complex training protocol aimed at enhancing agility, power, and core strength for six weeks. Each session starts with a 5-minute general warm-up, followed by a static stretching protocol to enhance muscle flexibility, covering key muscle groups like the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves, with each stretch held for 15-20 seconds.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

5-JUMP-TEST (FOR AGILITY):

The 5-jump test is a simple physical assessment used to evaluate an individual's explosive power and agility, particularly in terms of lower body strength. It involves performing five consecutive horizontal jumps in a row, with

Time frame: 6 weeks

T TEST AGILITY (FOR AGILITY)

The T-test for agility is a reliable and valid measure to assess an individual's quickness and directional change ability. To ensure reliability, the test should be administered multiple times (test-retest reliability) and checked for consistent scoring between trials, ideally resulting in an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) above 0.75, which indicates good reliability. Additionally, inter-rater and intra-rater reliability should be examined if multiple evaluators are involved

Time frame: 6 weeks

1 Repetition Maximum (1RM) Test (Planks)

The 1 Repetition Maximum (1RM) Test is commonly used to assess the maximum amount of weight an individual can lift for one complete repetition of an exercise. However, when referring to planks, it typically isn't a traditional 1RM test since planks are a isometric exercise (where the body remains static rather than lifting weight). In the context of planks, the "1RM" concept could be adapted to measure how long a person can hold a plank position with correct form
