Comparison of Accentuated Eccentric and Concentric Resistance Training in Athletes.

Comparison of Accentuated Eccentric and Concentric Resistance Training on Aerobic Capacity and Strength in Athletes.

This study will be randomized clinical trial and will recruit male soccer players aged 18-30yrs.Participants will be randomly divided into two groups with each group performing their program 3 times per week for 8 weeks.Group A will engage in Accentuated Eccentric resistance training ,using resistance bands and Group B will participate in Concentric Reistance training ,with similar resistance bands.
