简要总结
Comparison of Combined Sprint-Plyometric Training Versus Traditional Strength Training on Speed, Agility, Power, and Movement Quality in Intermediate Rugby Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial
详细描述
This randomized controlled trial compares combined sprint-plyometric training (Group A) versus traditional strength training (Group B) in 64 intermediate-level rugby players (aged 18-25 years). Both interventions are delivered over 8 weeks at 2 sessions per week. Primary and secondary outcomes include speed (40 m and 80 m sprint via electronic timing gates), agility (T-Test), lower-body explosive power (Standing Long Jump), and movement quality (Functional Movement Screen), assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Randomization is performed via computer-generated sequence.
