About this study
Official title: Comparative Study on the Effectiveness of Plyometric Push up and Swiss Ball Push up in the Management of Throwing Distance and Accuracy Among Badminton Players
The aim of this study is to find out the comparative effect of plyometric push up and swiss ball push up in the management of throwing distance and accuracy among badminton player.
Read the detailed description
In previous researches, little literature is available regarding comparison of the effectiveness of plyometric push-up and Swiss ball push-up specifically in the management of throwing distance in badminton players. There is a dire need to explore the comparative effects of these two training methods within the context of badminton. Moreover, Further studies exploring different approaches for throwing accuracy in badminton players are required in the existing researches.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
plyometric push up exercisesOther
The subjects will starts with push-up position with hands on the floor, place slightly wider than shoulder width apart and their feet together. Keeping their back flat, slowly lower the body toward the ground. Then in one explosive movement, push-up and away from the floor as quickly as possible, bring their hands off the floor.
swiss ball push up exercisesOther
. The subjects will start with kneeling position so that they will face the ball. Place their hands on top of the ball so that they can bend their elbows towards the body. Straight the legs out and raise themselves slightly higher so that they can be on their toes. Stay in neutral position. Straighten their arms at the elbows, so that they can push themselves up from the ball.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Functional throwing performance index
Functional ability of the shoulder joint will be assessed using FTPI. The subject stood 15ft from a target, a 1ftx1ft square on at a height of 4ft from the floor. The object of the test is to throw a standard leather ball into the target as many times as possible over 30 second trails. Before testing, subject's will perform 8 throws as a warm-up. Test began immediately after the warm-up consists of the subject 22 throwing the ball into the target, catching the rebound of the wall and repeating as many times as possible within 30 seconds. The FTPI is calculated as the number throws with in the target divided by total number of balls thrown.
Measured: 6 weeks
Medicine ball throw test
Medicine ball throw test will be used to assess upper-body explosive power. Throwing distance will be measured by using the medicine ball throw test. In this test, participants will be instructed to throw a medicine ball as far as they could, in a walk stand position, holding the ball overhead with the dominant hand. The medicine ball will be used had a mass of 2 kg and diameter 56cm each subject performed 5 trials with 1 min rest between trails. The distance in meter to which the subject threw the medicine ball was measured with the measuring tape. The best of 5 trials will be taken and used for further analysis.
Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing plyometric push up exercises and swiss ball push up exercises in people with Sports Physical Therapy, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Functional throwing performance index (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06658301, which also lists 13 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Dec 2024.
