Detailed Description
Ninety collegiate football players were recruited, with a mean age of 20.48 at the university campus. All of which were randomly divided into two experimental groups RST(n=30), PLT (n=30) participated in training for six weeks on alternate days (i.e., three sessions per week) and one control group (n=30) did not train. The control group was instructed to maintain regular activities and avoid any strenuous physical activity during the study. No significant between-group baseline or pre-to-post-training differences in anthropometrics were observed.
Under the Declaration of Helsinki, participants were informed about the study's possible risks and benefits, and all participants have signed informed consent before participation in the study. Ethical sub-committee of College of applied medical science, Majmaah, Saudi Arabia approved this study (Ethics Number: MUREC-Dec.15/COM-2020 / 13-2).
