Study design: Experimental study designObjective: Study was designed to rule out the effect of the plyometric training on athletes.
Summary of background: Goal of the long jumper has to develop the most efficient training technique to maximize performance. Resistance training improves strength but not speed. The plyometric exercises train the fast muscle fibers and the nerves that activate them as well as reflex and hence it is one of the primary tools which enhance both i.e. strength and speed.
Purpose of this study: Find out the effect of PLYT on long jump performance in athletes.
Methodology: 60 long jump players were randomly allocated to group-A (control group-30) and group-B (plyometric training group-30) for 6 week training program. Pre and post training measurements of standing long jump (SLJ) and horizontal long jump (HLT) were taken.
Results: Group-A shows significant difference for pre and post SLJ (t= -10.579. p < 0.01). Group-B shows significant difference for pre and post SLJ (t = -11.989, p < 0.01). Inter group (post-A and post-B) result shows significant difference for SLJ (t=-7.934. p< 0.0001).
Conclusion: Identification of PLYT program as more beneficial and effective than free mobility exercise training program and have positive effect on long jump performance.

Study Design: Randomized controlled single blinded clinical trial.Objective: To identify prevalence of thoraco-lumbar dysfunction (TLD) and analyze the role of latissimus dorsi and Lower Trapezius in it.
Summary of background data: 30% of chronic mechanical back pains are due to TLD. The thoracolumbar and Lower Trapezius muscles control the dynamic and postural stability of the lower spine. Though core stabilization exercises are widely recommended for low back pain, but no reports are available for exercises specific to thoraco-lumbar dysfunction.
Methods: 30 subjects in age group of 25 to 40 years with non traumatic, chronic mechanical low back pain were identified for study and randomly divided into two groups. Group-A (n=15): core stabilization exercises with Latissimus dorsi and Group-B (n=15): latissimus dorsi strengthening, core stabilization and Lower trapezius exercises. Primary outcome measure was pain intensity (VAS score). Secondary outcome measures were general health (SF-36) and back pain disability (Aberdeen back pain disability score). Outcome measurement scores were compared using paired t-test.
Results: Core muscles, latissimus dorsi along with lower trapezius strengthening alone is more effective in relieving pain and improving life than strengthening of core muscles and latissimus dorsi alone.
Conclusion: Identification of TLD as a cause of low back pain is recommended in all non-traumatic, chronic, mechanical low back pains. Strengthening of Latissimus dorsi along with Lower Trapezius relieves thoraco-lumbar related back pain.

Purpose: To determine the effect of balance training in high school athletes after lateral ankle sprains. Subject: 60 male subjects aged 15-18 yearsMethods: 60 high school male athletes in the age group of 15-18 years with lateral ankle sprain were assigned to training. Subjects of training group participated in a 4(four) week balance training program based on a compilation of the rehabilitation and balance validated and published in prior studies. SEBT and CAIT score were taken to measure severity of functional ankle stability during pre - and post- balance training programme.
Result: After balance training ,significant differences were found in reach distance of SEBT score in Anterior(A), Lateral(L), Medial(M), Anteromedial(AM), Anterolateral(AL), Posteromedial (PM) and Posterolateral(PL); whereas the reach distance in posterior(P) direction showed insignificant difference. Significant difference was noted in the post-training CAIT score
Conclusion: Balance training program significantly reduces the risk of recurrent ankle sprains in high school athletes with lateral ankle sprain.
