Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was to determine the effects of plyometric training program on speed and agility in young cricketer. There were two groups, one received plyometric training program and other received training training to improve speed and agility in young cricketers

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Plyometric training has been an effective method for the improvement of agility, sprinting, and jumping ability and it has also been reported to Improve running economy, joint stability, increased joint awareness and overall proprioception and decrease the severity of knee injuries. In the Plyometric exercise involves starting, stopping, and change of movement directions which contribute to agility development.The athletes use plyometric training techniques in many sports to improve explosive power and body strength. The plyometrics is a rapid stretch of muscle (eccentric) contraction straight away shortening (concentric) contraction in similar muscle tissue
