Brief Summary

Sprints can be a really effective way to improve participants cardiovascular fitness, strength and power, and running economy. Participants can gain bigger improvements and in less time with sprinting than with continuous easy running. Power training typically involves exercises which apply the maximum amount of force as fast as possible. Both these trainings are vital to increase the speed and repeated sprint ability in cricket fast bowlers.

Detailed Description

Fast bowling requires a highly specialized and unique training approach as the whole body is used in the delivery of the ball to achieve maximum velocity. For this purpose, the fast bowlers must perform the sprint training which is high intensity interval training as it boosts the speed and power, helps to run faster, build muscles and increase the cardiovascular health. Along with sprint training fast bowlers undergo power training which also helps to run faster, improve strength and speed and maintain fitness.

It will be a Randomized clinical trial with sample size of 34 calculated by G-power with 10- m sprint test, using non probability convenient sampling technique. The study will include physically fit and healthy fast bowlers of age 18-30 years. Participants will be divided into 2 equal experimental groups. One group will perform sprint training which include 10 meter run or repeated sprint ability and other will perform power training including squat jump or countermovement jump consisting of 12 sessions for 4 weeks (3 sessions each week). Data will be assessed by using SPSS version 25
