Overview

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of hang clean and half squat training programs on vertical jump performance and strength in male basketball players aged 18-35 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a hang clean training program improve vertical jump performance in basketball players? Does a half squat training program improve vertical jump performance in basketball players? Researchers will compare the hang clean training group to the half squat training group to see if there is a significant difference in the improvement of vertical jump performance and strength. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelop method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive hang clean training. Group B will receive half squat training, attend pre- and post-testing assessments of vertical jump performance and strength

Description

Explosive strength is a crucial factor in basketball performance, and various training programs have been developed to improve it. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effectiveness of a 12-weeks hang clean training program versus a 12-week half squat training program in improving vertical jump performance and strength in male basketball players aged 18-35 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is hang clean training effective in improving vertical jump performance and strength in basketball players? Is half squat training effective in improving vertical jump performance and strength in basketball players? Researchers will compare the hang clean training group to the half squat training group to see if there is a significant difference in the improvement of vertical jump performance and strength. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelop method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Study will be carried in basketball courts at Lahore. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the HCL or HSQ training group. Group A will receive hang clean training. Group B will receive half squat training.
