- 1.Changes in the fatigue level in male and female players after both jumps
Study Overview
Brief Summary
We want to administer an experimental acute fatigue protocol (100 countermovement jumps) to male and female sports players. We will assess the outcome parameters by examining changes in muscle recruitment patterns of the rectus abdominis, erector spinae, lateral biceps femoris, and rectus femoris. Additionally, we will evaluate kinetic parameters such as force, velocity, and time before and after the fatigue protocol during squat and countermovement jump exercises.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
1.Changes in the fatigue level in male and female players after both jumps
Time Frame: soon after intervention completion: | 1 hour
2.Different muscle activation during squat and countermovement jump is helpful in assessing force generation and muscle recuritment pattern in male and female players
Time Frame: soon after intervention completion: | 1 hour
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
