About

Cricket is an extremely demanding sport. At an elite level, players are often required to perform at their limits of speed, agility, flexibility, endurance and strength. On top of all of this, players must maintain a high state of concentration in order to meet the tactical/mental demands of dealing with their opponents. In young cricket players, the most important attributes are high levels of skill. A long-term commitment to endurance and strength training is necessary to reach and maintain a player's full physical potential. The two primary objectives of the resistance program are to prevent injury and enhance the game's abilities. Strength plays a key role in all motor abilities, technical skills and tactical actions. Endurance performance capacity has long been recognized as an important prerequisite for on-field performance for Cricket players.

Full description

This study will be a randomized controlled trial in which 28 sample sizes will be taken. The participants will be allocated into two groups of 14 participants in each group. One group will perform split body exercises in which 4 days of training will include and every day a single muscle group will be targeted for example on day one the arm muscles bicep and triceps are included and on day two leg press will include and so on. In the second group whole body resistance exercises will perform in two days for example on day one bench press leg press and other resistance training exercises will be performed. Training will give to both groups for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks we compare both groups by FMS and the Leg press bench press test will perform. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 25.
