Conditions
Interventions
8-week plyometric training programme
A supervised 8-week plyometric exercise programme added to routine football training. The programme included progressive plyometric exercises designed to improve lower-limb explosive power, sprint performance, jump performance, and agility-related performance in recreational adolescent male football players.
Routine football training
Participants maintained their usual football training programme during the 8-week study period. This training exposure was continued in both study arms and served as the active comparator condition for the control group.
