Study Overview
Brief Summary
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Ghakhar Sports Complex,Gujranwala. Twenty eight subjects of both genders aged between 18 to 30 years will be selected who have been playing tennis for more than a year. Subjects will be randomized into two groups; Ballistic six exercises will be given to group A and exercises of 3 sets of 10-20 repetitions will be completed, with each series offering 30-60 seconds of rest. The ballistic Six exercise uses resistance-band latex tube and fitness balls. Resistance-band exercises will be given to group B and the duration of training sessions will be 3 sets of 10-20 repetitions.Assessments done will be sitting medicine ball throw test (SMBT) for shoulder strength, closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test (CKUCEST) for agility, plate tapping test (PTT) for speed and kerlan jobe Orthopedic Clinical Score (KJOC) for shoulder function. Assessment will be done at baseline, post 8 weeks of training, at the end of 6 months. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 21.
Detailed Description
During regular training, players sustain injuries on a regular basis. Based on the fact that tennis isn't seen at all as a contact sport the majority of injuries are caused by overuse. A participant must perform a variety of quick, yet repeated shoulder action and repetitive motions put tension mostly on tissues with time, putting them at risk of damage. Current study will be done to compare the effects of ballistic six training versus resistance-band exercises on shoulder strength, agility, speed, and function in transitional tennis players.

Normality of data will be checked, and tests will be applied according to normality of the data, either parametric or non-parametric test will be used (within a group or between two groups).

Arms & Interventions
BALLISTIC SIX EXERCISES
The Ballistic Six exercise uses resistance-band latex tube (red) and fitness balls (2-lb for one extremity training / 6-lb for dual extremity training). The 6 exercises includes; External rotation with latex tube, 90/90 external rotation with latex tube, overhead soccer throws using a fitness ball, 90/90 external rotation side-throw using a fitness ball, deceleration baseball throws using a fitness ball and baseball throws using a medicine ball
Intervention: BALLISTIC SIX EXERCISES (Other)
RESISTANCE-BAND EXERCISES
Week wise resistance-band training includes; 1-4 weeks: Standing Shoulder Press, Chest Fly, Triceps French Press, Biceps Curl, Rhomboid Squeeze, 5-6 weeks: Trunk Twist, Reverse Flies, Concentration Curl Scapular, Retraction, 7-8 weeks: Straight Arm Pull down, Chest Press, Triceps Kick Back, Rear Deltoid, Dead Lift
Intervention: RESISTANCE-BAND EXERCISES (Other)
