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

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to compare two different training programs to see how they affect vertical jump performance and strength in male basketball players aged 18 to 35 years. The study focuses on whether hang clean training or half squat training better improves explosive strength, which is important for basketball performance. The trial is a randomized controlled study designed to answer if one training method leads to more significant improvements than the other. Participants will be divided into two groups using a random selection process. One group will perform hang clean training three times a week for twelve weeks, while the other group will do half squat training with the same frequency and duration. The training will take place on basketball courts, and both groups will follow their assigned routines throughout the 12-week program. During the study, participants will undergo testing before and after the training period to measure their vertical jump ability and maximum strength using a one-repetition maximum test. The researchers will monitor these outcomes at the start and end of the trial to assess changes. The study is ethically approved and sponsored by Riphah International University. Participants' progress and safety will be observed throughout the 12 weeks of training.
