Summary
This study will test whether plyometric exercises (like jumping) or resistance band training better improve agility and reduce how hard exercise feels for recreational football players aged 18-25. Forty male players will follow a 6-week program, and their agility and perceived exertion will be measured before and after. The goal is to find a simple training method that helps players move quickly and feel less exhausted during games.
