About

This study will investigate the comparative effects of plyometric training (PT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on key performance metrics: sprint speed, agility, and power. The research will be conducted as a randomized clinical trial over six months, involving 34 participants recruited from cricket academies.

Full description

Participants will be randomly assigned to either the PT or HIIT group. The PT group will perform exercises leveraging the stretch-shortening cycle to enhance explosive power, while the HIIT group will alternate high-intensity activity with recovery periods to improve anaerobic capacity. Standardized tools, including the 40-Yard Sprint Test, Standing Broad Jump, and Agility T-Test, will be used to assess outcomes pre- and post-intervention. Data will be analyzed using SPSS, employing paired t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests for within- and between-group comparisons
