Detailed Description

The objective of the study is to determine the effects of plyometric training versus explosive strength training on agility, power, and dynamic balance in basketball players. The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from the Ethical Committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in groups A \& B through the sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in group A will receive plyometric training. Group B will receive explosive strength training. The outcome measures will be assessed by agility T-test, vertical jump test, and star excursion balance test (SEBT).

The data will be analyzed by SPSS, version 25. Statistical significance is p=0.05.
