22 participants in 2 patient groups

Plyometric Training

Experimental group

Description:

Patient will be given baseline treatment that includes thermotherapy+ TENS+ low intensity high repetition exercises. After we will apply our basic intervention exercise, Plyometrics are primarily used by athletes to improve performance and are used in the fitness field to a much lesser degree. This training focuses on learning to move from a muscle extension to a contraction in a explosive way, for example repeated jumping.

Treatment:

Other: Plyometrics Training
