Terminal Extension lag (TEL) is a condition that develops when active range of extension is smaller than passive range; frequently noticed in post-traumatic knees after injuries and Anterior Cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. TEL is typically seen within 6 to 12 weeks after ACL reconstruction. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery is a critical surgical intervention used to repair ACL tear; which is common among those who are engaged in physical demanding activities and Sportsmen. In the initial days following surgery terminal extension lag affects up to 10 to 35% of individuals. ACL is expectational because it's not just a static stabilizer of knee but also transfers proprioceptive information to the brain so to improve joint's dynamics. This study aims to compare effects of Dynamic Stability Drills (DSD) and Plyometric Training (PT) in reducing terminal knee extension lag in post-ACL reconstruction patients. This study will be a Randomized Clinical Trail and will be conducted in Physiotherapy Department of Bethania Hospital Sialkot. Non-Probability Convenience Sampling will be used to collect data. Total of 48 Participants of the age 20 to 40 years with terminal extension lag of moderate lag stage (typically 9-12 weeks post-op with 5-10° lag) will be selected as sample size. An informed consent will be taken prior study from all the subjects. Outcomes measure will be included Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain, Single Leg Hope Test and Y Balance Test (Y-BAL) for Dynamic Stability, Universal Goniometer (UG) for Range of Motion, Sphygmomanometer for Knee Strength, International Knee Documentation Committee scores, (IKDC) for Knee function and Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) Calculations. Subjects will be divided into two groups by random number generator table. Both groups will receive a standard physiotherapy protocols which will include: Hot pack , TENS , Mobilizations, Stretching and Strengthening. Group A will receive Dynamic Stability Drills and Group B will receive Plyometric Training along with conventional treatment.

Physical activity for healthy ageing is an important feature and the possibility to detect practical solutions to solve the need for feasible health promotion interventions to reduce health disparities and wellbeing in individuals with intellectual disability (ID) is an open question. In this perspective, vision has a remarkable role in spatial cognition and organization, especially in individuals with ID. Therefore, the aim is to investigate the effectiveness of a perceptual-vision training program on cognitive performance (inhibitory control) and physical fitness (balance, agility and muscular strength) in adults with ID throughout 16 weeks. Participants with mild ID will be randomly divided into a perceptual-vision training group, a perceptual-vision training-detraining group and a control group. Cognitive performance and physical fitness will be assessed at baseline, mid and at the end of 16 weeks. In conclusion, a visual training program may present the potentiality to impact various health domains, from cognition to physical performance in individuals with intellectual disabilities, promoting their healthy aging.

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common, chronic joint pathology that causes participants to suffer from pain, dysfunction, and reduced quality of life. The goal is to improve the quality of life and rehabilitation of patients by making rehabilitation exercises electronic and the system can be personalized to their specific conditions. The focus of this study was on exercise interventions, and an interactive software was designed that combines repetitive motion and real-time feedback mechanisms. The software provides a series of rehabilitation movements that are specific to the characteristics of osteoarthritis of the knee in older adults, aiming to help participants gradually improve joint range of motion and muscle strength through exercise. The real-time feedback mechanism, on the other hand, monitors the participants' exercise status in real time through wearable devices, providing intuitive feedback to the participants to ensure that they perform the rehabilitation movements correctly, thus ensuring the scientificity and safety of the exercise. In this study, investigators designed an exercise assessment and exercise intervention system for patients with knee osteoarthritis. In the exercise assessment part, the study combines several tools. First, the WOMAC scale was used to systematically assess patients' joint pain, stiffness, and dyskinesia. Second, physical function tests are used to assess the patient's overall exercise capacity, including indicators such as the number of sit-ups and rises. In addition, a wearable device was designed in this paper for real-time collection of knee angle information.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Medium-Intensity Interval Training (MIIT) are popular training methods known for enhancing athletic performance. HIIT is characterized by short bursts of high-intensity exercise followed by brief recovery periods. This training approach typically involves exercising at 80-95% of maximum heart rate for intervals ranging from 20 seconds to a few minutes, followed by rest or lower-intensity activity. Moderate-Interval Training (MIIT), on the other hand, involves moderate-intensity exercise performed at 60-75% of maximum heart rate. The primary objective is to determine how HIIT and MIIT differ in improving CPF, strength, and agility among athletes. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted with a sample size of 80 athletes, divided into two groups. Participants will undergo 45-minute training sessions three times a week for six weeks, followed by pre- and post-intervention assessments using Cooper's 12-Minute Run/Walk Test, T-Test for agility, and Active Force 2 muscle tester for strength. Statistical analyses will be conducted to compare pre- and post-intervention results between the two groups, determining the significance of differences in CRF fitness, strength and agility outcomes.

Background: Football requires players to excel in both high-intensity, fast-paced actions and slower moments of rest, which demand a range of well-developed motor skills, including power, endurance and strength. Endurance enables players to maintain prolonged physical effort without diminishing performance, a necessity given the sport's demand for players to cover 9-14 km per game, with up to 15% of this distance covered in high-intensity sprints. Strength is also crucial, helping players perform actions such as jumping, pushing during sprints, and maintaining stability, all of which enhance performance and resilience on the field. To adapt to the changing physical demands of football, training methods like treadmill sprint training and fartlek training (FT) are commonly used, each with different impacts on physiological development. Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the effects of treadmill sprint training and fartlek training on leg press strength, power and endurance on amateur football players. Methodology: A sample size of 42 football players will be randomly allocated to either fartlek training group or modified Tabata training group. A typical fartlek session begins with a warm-up, followed by intervals of intense effort (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 3, 2 minute hard and moderate runs) with recovery periods (2 minutes) in between, then concludes with a cool-down. This 2, 3, 4, 3, 2 interval set helps athletes improve endurance, strength and power and adapt to varied game-like conditions. The Modified Tabata training Program that will be carried out for 3 sessions per week over 6 weeks is as follows: there will be 3 training sessions in a week. In first two weeks, the 24-minute session will be divided into 6 sets, each set lasting 4 minutes consist of 8 rounds, with a 2-minute rest period between each set. The 4 minute exercise duration will consist of a work-to-rest ratio of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. The level of exercise progressively increased throughout the 6-week program, by increasing the set of exercise Outcome measures in the both groups will be assessed by Squats test, Vertical jump test,3-min step up test and Yo-Yo Intermittent recovery test . All these measures will be taken at the baseline and again after 6 weeks of training to assess the effectiveness of the training program and the resulting improvements in strength, power, and endurance.

In the field of football, the essence of the lower limb strength, power and general performance is greatly valued by any player who wants to perform exceptionally well in both the acceleration, jumping and general agility. Conventional strengthening techniques have always been basic and recent strategies such as the Accentuated Eccentric Loading (AEL) and Flywheel (FW) have been considered as the inventions. AEL increases the muscle contraction during the eccentric phase of exercises and therefore improves hypertrophy and strength. On the other hand, FW uses leverage kinetic energy to oppose, thus, promotes muscle contractions and changes constantly. There is different training modalities that can be applied during training sessions or in prepare to a particular event such as football. Thus, it is essential to compare the applicability of those modalities in training football players. This study design will be Randomized clinical trial. Thirty-six male age 18-21 years who consistently play football and participate in resistance training from previous one year will randomly assigned to the two different exercise protocol i.e. Accentuated eccentric loading and Flywheel. The participants will undergo training program for total of 8 weeks. These two groups will exercise three days in a week and each session will take about 60-75 minutes. In this study researcher will use Back Squat and Leg Press for lower limb strength. Hip thrusts and Broad Jump for lower limb power. Free weights or Weight Machines, 20- meter sprint test and Agility T-test to measure performance of footballers. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 25.
