Anthropometric Measurements and Elastic Resistance Training, Sports Physical Therapy
Conditions
Brief summary
To determine the association of hand and forearm anthropometrics on grip strength and forehand smash quality of badminton players after six-weeks of elastic resistance training.
Detailed description
As literature suggests that anthropometrics such as BMI and height do affect many game outcomes but specific anthropometrics have not been considered before so it is included in this study. Similarly the affects of elastic resistance training for lower limb has been recorded while the literature lacks for upper limb.
Interventions
six-weeks elastic resistance training of upper limb. Three days per week. volume per session would be 10 repetitions and three sets. 2 minute rest interval between each set.
players follow their routine exercise protocol
