简要总结
Squash match play is characterized by fast and frenetic movements, making the development of agility and speed crucial for players. The majority of movements in squash involve only 2 or 3 steps, emphasizing the need for quick and explosive movement execution.
It is a randomized clinical trial with non-probability convenience sampling technique. The sample size of the study is 28. It will be conducted in Punjab Squash Association in Lahore within 6 months after approval of synopsis. Group A will receive acceleration drills in 15-minute sessions for 6 weeks. 3-5 days per week with moderate to high intensity. Group B will receive change in direction drills (15-minute sessions) for 6 weeks, 3-5 times a week, with moderate to high intensity. The collected data will be analyzed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0. If data will be normally distributed, then parametric; if not normally distributed, then non-parametric.
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of acceleration drills versus change in direction drills on agility, speed, and performance in squash players.
详细描述
The objective of my study is to determine comparative effects of acceleration drills and change in direction drills on agility, speed, and performance in squash players.

结局指标
主要结局
Illinois agility test
时间窗: Time Frame 6 weeks
Illinois agility test is used to test running agility using various turns and movements Participants should lie on their front and hands by their shoulders. On the 'Go' command, the stopwatch is started, and the athlete gets up as quickly as possible and runs forwards ten meters to run around a cone, then back ten meters, then runs up and back through a slalom course of four cones. Finally, the athlete runs another ten meters up and back past the finishing cone, at which the timing is stopped.
Sprint for speed
时间窗: Time Frame 6 weeks
The twenty meter sprint test used to evaluate the sprints. This test starts from the starting line with a standing position. Participants ran twenty meters as fast as possible. Time is evaluated for five, ten, fifteen and twenty meters. Record time in seconds. The faster the time, the better the speed.
Vertical jump test
时间窗: Time Frame 6 weeks
It is a standard test for measuring athletic performance. The athlete stands side on to a wall and reaches up with the hand closest to the wall. Keeping the feet flat on the ground, the point of the fingertips is marked or recorded. This is called the standing reach height. The athlete then stands away from the wall, and leaps vertically as high as possible using both arms and legs to assist in projecting the body upwards. Attempt to touch the wall at the highest point of the jump. The difference in distance between the standing reach height and the jump height is the score. The best of three attempts is recorded.
Squat One-repetition maximum (1RM) Test
时间窗: Time Frame 6 weeks
The One-repetition maximum test is considered as the 'gold standard' for assessing the strength capacity of individuals in non-laboratory environments. One-repetition maximum is a measure of the maximal weight a subject can lift with one repetition.
