Brief Summary

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

The complex training starts with a high load of resistance training that is succeeded by plyometric training. This combination aims at improving the efficacy of the plyometric training stimulus, thus increasing the neuromuscular response, explosive strength, and power. This response might further be improved by making appropriate variations in the dosage parameters of complex training. Previously available literature reports conflicting evidence, with some studies supporting the effectiveness of complex training for improving power output in sports, whereas others contradict this rationale. There is a paucity of research evidence that directly compares the efficacy of plyometric and complex training for the outcomes of physical performance in cricket players.
