Brief Summary  
This double-blinded randomized controlled trial aims to assess the effectiveness of the multiplanar lumbopelvic stability program and the traditional core stability program. Lumbopelvic stability is essential for injury prevention and performance in dynamic movements like deep squats, and dynamic knee valgus, the inward collapse of the knee, poses injury risks.

Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: Group A will receive the multiplanar lumbopelvic stability program along with conventional core stability training, and Group B will receive only conventional core stability training.
Both interventions will be administered as four exercise sessions for a week, a total of 16 sessions. Each session will follow standardized parameters and treatment duration under the supervision of a trained physiotherapist. These interventions are safe, noninvasive, drug-free, and simple to administer, with minimal to no side effects, making them suitable for routine clinical use.

The study population will be recruited based on the selection criteria.

The following outcome measures will be assessed: Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance Test, Landing Error Scoring System, Deep Overhead Squat Test, Frontal Plane Projection Angle. A basic musculoskeletal physiotherapy assessment will be carried out before intervention. Outcome assessments will be conducted across three timelines: one at baseline, a second at the completion of 4 weeks, and a third at the 16th week to evaluate the treatment effects.

All participants will receive a participant information sheet that clearly outlines the study’s purpose, procedures, potential benefits, and risks. Written informed consent will be obtained prior to participation, ensuring full understanding, confidentiality, and voluntary involvement. Participants may withdraw from the study at any point without penalty.

This trial aims to assess the effectiveness of the Multiplanar Lumbopelvic Stability Program in influencing the overhead deep squat pattern and addressing dynamic knee valgus among collegiate athletes, which can provide valuable insights into the impact of the intervention on biomechanics, ultimately contributing to the optimization of training protocols, reduction of injury risks, and promotion of long-term musculoskeletal health in collegiate sports.
