Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Ballistic push up test
Time Frame: 6-8 Weeks
This test is used to measure explosive strength for upper extremity.
Jump Height
Time Frame: 6-8 Weeks
Vertical jump tests is used to measure lower limb explosive power by measuring the height a client is able to jump in centimetre (cm). Attempt to touch the wall at the highest point of the jump. The difference in distance between the standing reach height and the jump height is the score. The best of three attempts is recorded.
Endurance
Time Frame: 6-8 Weeks
This test is used to measures endurance
