What this trial studies
This study investigates the combined effects of plyometric and endurance training on female hockey players aged 18-24 with at least one year of experience in the sport. The trial will involve three groups of participants, with one group receiving plyometric training, another endurance training, and a third group receiving a combination of both over a 12-week period. The aim is to assess improvements in speed, strength, and agility through a randomized controlled trial design. Participants will be selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure a focused analysis of the training effects.
