简要总结
This clinical trial aims to learn if intensive short-term functional strength training works to improve agility, functional movement, and balance among male and female national Kho-Kho players. It will also teach about the effect of gender on physical performance. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the intensive short-term functional strength training work to improve agility, functional movement, and balance among male and female national Kho-Kho players?
- Which gender brings the greater impact on the physical performance of national Kho-Kho players? Researchers will investigate the impact of intensive short-term functional strength training on agility, functional movement, and balance among male and female national Kho-Kho players and compare the impact of male and female differences on physical performance.
Participants will:
• Both male and female groups of participants received an application of intensive short-term functional strength training and balance training or balance training and intensive short-term functional strength training consecutively for one hour each, six days a week for two weeks.
详细描述
Kho-Kho and kabaddi are two of the most beloved team sports in rural India, and they are celebrated for their historical roots. As Indigenous games of India, they stand out for requiring players to evade contact with opponents. These games are highly competitive, starting from the elementary level and continuing to the national stage, driving both enthusiasm and rivalry. Playing Kho-Kho not only improves physical fitness but also positively impacts mental health, stress management, and overall well-being, contributing to high performance in sports. Notably, adolescent girls face distinct biomechanical and anatomical challenges in Kho-Kho. Functional Strength Training (FST), a comprehensive method, improves athletes' movement efficiency by engaging multiple muscle groups across different planes, making it ideal for improving athletic performance. Intensive FST is essential for optimizing athlete readiness, offering valuable insights to both scientists and coaches on the effectiveness of training programs.

结局指标
主要结局
Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
时间窗: 2weeks
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a screening tool that consists of seven motor tasks, encompassing overhead squats, inline lunges, step downs, shoulder flexibility, straight leg lifts, trunk stability pushups, and pushups. Each task is assessed using a conventional 0-3 ordinal system. A score of 3 indicates correct execution without pain or compensatory movements, a score of 2 indicates compensatory movements were observed, a score of 1 signifies an inability to complete the movement, and a score of 0 implies no pain during the movement. Each exercise is repeated three times, and the best performance is recorded. The FMS yields a maximum score of 21, with a total score of 14 or below indicating a higher risk of sports injury development.
