About

Effect of Integrated Neuromuscular Training on Explosive Strength, Speed and Endurance of Medium Fast Bowler in Cricket

Full description

Integrated neuromuscular training (INT) is a combination of functional movement training and specific strength, balance, speed, sensitivity, and isometric training, which aims to evaluate and prevent sports injury and improve sports performance. Neuromuscular control defects are mainly manifested as decreases in muscle strength, explosive power, or abnormal activation patterns. INT is defined as a conceptual training program that incorporates general (e.g., fundamental movements) and specific strength and conditioning tasks (e.g., resistance, balance, agility, plyometric) to improve injury resilience and to enhance sporting and motor skill performance. The majority of studies in youth examining neuromuscular training strategies to improve performance and injury prevention include multiple components (for example, balance, strength, plyometric, agility, speed, coordination. INT sessions are characterized by short bursts of physical activity interspersed with brief rest periods.

the purpose of this study is to find the effect of integrated neuromuscular training on explosive strength, speed and endurance of medium fast bowler in cricket
