Detaljeret beskrivelse
This randomized controlled trial compares combined sprint-plyometric training (Group A) versus traditional strength training (Group B) in 64 intermediate-level rugby players (aged 18-25 years).
Both interventions are delivered over 8 weeks at 2 sessions per week.
Primary and secondary outcomes include speed (40 m and 80 m sprint via electronic timing gates), agility (T-Test), lower-body explosive power (Standing Long Jump), and movement quality (Functional Movement Screen), assessed at baseline and post-intervention.
Randomization is performed via computer-generated sequence.

Frequency: 2 sessions/week, 45-60 min/session.
Rest between sets: 3 minutes.
Rest between sessions: 48-72 hours.
Volume and distance progress across 4 two-week blocks.

Aktiv komparator: Traditional Strength Training Group
Participants perform lower-body resistance exercises (barbell squat, leg press, lunges, Romanian deadlift, leg curl, leg extension) at 60-80% 1RM over 8 weeks.
Frequency: 2 sessions/week, 45-60 min/session.
Rest between sets: 1.5-3 minutes.
