Comparative Effects of Hang Clean and Half Squat Training Program on Vertical Jump Performance and Strength Among Basketball Players

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

Study Overview

Detailed 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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
vertical jump test
Time Frame: 0 week, 12week
The vertical jump and reach test through wall will be used to assess the maximum vertical jump height of each participant. The test will be performed by having participants stand side on to a wall with their feet shoulder-width apart. They will reach up with one hand and mark the highest point they can reach with their fingers on the wall. Then, they will perform a maximum vertical jump, landing on both feet, and mark the highest point they can reach at the peak of their jump on the wall. The difference between the two marks will be recorded as the vertical jump height in centimeters (cm). This metric will be used to quantify the improvement in vertical jump performance following the 12-week hang clean training program versus the 12-week half squat training program.
0 week, 12week
1-repitition maximum for strength
Time Frame: 0 week, 12week
The 1RM strength metric will be used to quantify the maximum weight an individual can lift in a single repetition of a specific exercise, in this case, the hang clean and half squat exercises. This metric will be used to assess the improvement in maximum strength following the 12-week hang clean training program versus the 12-week half squat training program.
