Association of Anthropometrics With Grip Strength and Smash Quality Post Six Week Elastic Resistance Training

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Anthropometric Measurements and Elastic Resistance Training; Sports Physical Therapy
• Interventions: Other: Conventional Resistance Training; Other: Elastic resistance training

• Registration Number: NCT06292455
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

To determine the association of hand and forearm anthropometrics on grip strength and forehand smash quality of badminton players after six-weeks of elastic resistance training.

Detailed Description

As literature suggests that anthropometrics such as BMI and height do affect many game outcomes but specific anthropometrics have not been considered before so it is included in this study. Similarly the affects of elastic resistance training for lower limb has been recorded while the literature lacks for upper limb.
