Brief Summary: Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International university Randomized Control Trial (RCT) will be conducted at Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Lahore, through convenience sampling technique on 44 athletes of soccer which will be allocated using random sampling through computerized generated number into Group A and Group B, 6 athletes will be in each group. Group A (interventional) will be given conventional training along with Speed Endurance Production (SEP) Training. Group B (Control) will be will be given conventional training

Detailed Description: A Randomized Control Trial (RCT) will be conducted at Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Lahore, through convenience sampling technique on 44 athletes of soccer which will be allocated using random sampling through computerized generated number into Group A and Group B, 6 athletes will be in each group. Group A (interventional) will be given conventional training along with Speed Endurance Production (SEP) Training. Group B (Control) will be will be given conventional training There will be 3 sessions in a week for 8th week. Outcome measures will be agility T-Test to measure agility, speed endurance will be measured by 40 meters sprint test and functional performance will be measured by Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 2. The baseline scoring will be on 1st day, follow up will be taken at 4th week and 8th week. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-Wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
conventional exercise	conventional training	* A standardized 10-minute warm-up consisting of jogging . * Multidirectional dynamic stretching of lower extremity muscles (Hamstring, Quadriceps Calf), for 30 seconds each * Jumping (submaximal ankle and squat jumps) will be used for all soccer players before regime starts * Exercises including squats; Nordic hamstrings; core rotations and barbell rowing, lunges , hamstrings kicks, side way lunges, standing chest press, crunches (90s rest); core rotations; bounding jumps and fast shifting lunges Each exercise will consists of 3\*10, after each exercise 90 seconds rest will be given. These exercises will be given to 3 times a week for 8 weeks
speed endurance production (SEP) training along with conventional training.	speed endurance production (SEP) training along with conventional training.	Group A along with conventional regime will be given SEP. It will be given 3 days/week. The SEP protocol consisted of 6-8 reps of 20-s all-out bouts interspersed with 120 seconds of passive recovery between repetitions. During each 20-s bout, players carried out single shuttle runs of approximately 140-150 m (70-75 + 70-75 m, depending on the group) at their full maximal effort. SEP protocol will be given 3 times/ week for 8th weeks
