The AERT group performed eccentric resistance training by Elastic Resistance bands for 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Each session included 3 sets of 10 repetitions with 2-3 mints of rest interval between each set. Participants in this group start with Yellow band (light resistance) and progressing through to purple band (high resistance). The level of exercise progressively increased throughout the 8-week program, by increasing the resistance of resistance bands. In group A, participants executed the Eccentric Phase for 2-4 seconds and Concentric phase for 1-2 seconds.

The CRT group performed concentric resistance training by Elastic Resistance bands for 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Each session included 3 sets of 10 repetitions with 2-3 mints of rest interval between each set. Participants in this group start with Yellow band (light resistance) and progressing through to purple band (high resistance). The level of exercise progressively increased throughout the 8-week program, by increasing the resistance of resistance bands. In group B, participants executed the Concentric Phase for 2-4 seconds and Eccentric phase for 1-2 seconds.

The AERT group performed eccentric resistance training by Elastic Resistance bands for 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Each session included 3 sets of 10 repetitions with 2-3 mints of rest interval between each set. Participants in this group start with Yellow band (light resistance) and progressing through to purple band (heavy resistance). The level of exercise progressively increased throughout the 8-week program, by increasing the strength of resistance bands. In group A, participants executed the Eccentric Phase for 2-4 seconds and Concentric phase for 1-2 seconds. 12 Comparison of accentuated eccentric and concentric resistance training in athletes

a warm up of 10 repetitions using an empty barbell in back squat position. After rest of 2 mints, Participants will perform same protocol with addition of (35 pounds) weight and goal is to perform maximum repetitions. At final phase, weight (35 pounds) and the maximum repetitions performed are counted. This count is then used in Epley formula to calculate the individual 1RM (32).

Epley's Formula:

1RM = weight x (1 + (reps / 30))

The 20-meter shuttle run test, often called the "beep" or "bleep" test, requires participants to run back and forth continuously between two lines 20 meters apart, with a rhythm imposed by audio(beep). Starting at a slow pace, they must turn when signaled by the beeps. After about a minute, the pace increased, with the beeps occurring more quickly, requiring the runners to speed up. The speed increases each minute(level), with beeps becoming closer together. If a participant reaches the line before the beep, they must wait; if not, they receive a warning and have two more chances to catch up to the pace. A second warning results in elimination from the test. Calculation: VO2max = 18.043461 + (0.3689295 x TS) + (- 0.000349 x TS x TS)
