Intervention groups
Group A: Group A will perform active recovery technique that 30 min Cardio/Jogging, 10 repetitions of Resistance bands exercises, Stretches of targeted muscles and Foam roller exercise of 45 seconds to minimize effect of fatigue in Active Recovery Techniques. Participants will perform Active recovery techniques with an interval of 10 sec. Group B: Group B will get Active Release technique manually. This technique will be performed for duration of 15 minutes. This protocol will be performed twice after Workout.
Main outcome variables
