Effects of Battle Rope Training Program On Bocce Throwing In Young Adaptive Bocce Players
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of battle rope training in enhancing athletic performance among young adaptive bocce players aged 10 to 18 years. A total of 18 participants with physical disabilities qualifying them for adaptive sports, capable of following instructions and without recent injuries or surgeries, will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group undergoing structured battle rope training or a control group continuing regular bocce training. The 8-week intervention, conducted three times per week, focuses on improving upper body strength, endurance, and coordination. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will include bocce throwing accuracy and distance, grip strength, number of rope slams in a set time, and shoulder endurance, with a dynamometer used to measure strength metrics. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 23 to determine the impact of battle rope training on performance and fitness in adaptive sports

Interventions
battle rope training
Battle rope training is a dynamic, high-intensity exercise involving heavy ropes to improve strength, endurance, and coordination. It primarily targets the upper body, including the shoulders, arms, and core, through rhythmic, wave-like movements. This training is adaptable and effective for enhancing functional fitness in both general and adaptive athletes.
Bocce Throwing
Participants in the control group will engage in regular bocce training sessions as per their usual routine. These sessions will focus on standard bocce drills and techniques without additional battle rope exercise. A warm- up activity used in every training session and a proper warm-up should include Aerobic activity and Dynamic stretching . 15 to 20 repetitions of each exercise.
