About this trial
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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Speed
speed is assessed by 10-m sprint test. participants will run for 10 meters on the sound of GO. the time taken for the completion of 10 meter track will be recorded by a handled stopwatch. Measurements will be taken before and after 10-m sprint test.
Time frame
10 months2
Repeated Sprint Ability
Repeated-sprint ability (RSA) is now well accepted as an important fitness component in team-sport performance. It is broadly described as the ability to perform repeated short (\~3-4 s, 20-30 m) sprints with only brief (\~10-30 s) recovery between bouts. measurements will be taken before and after the repeated sprint ability test.
