Brief Summary

The main aim of the study is to prevent the injuries during cricket.Total 60 players were included in the study. 20 players were in warm up group,20 players were in cool down group and 20 players in control group.Base line assessment was by 100m sprint, Illinios agility test, 3 minute burpee test, SEBT and plank. After intervention of 6 weeks assessment will be done again by using the same tests.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• 3 minute burpee test

  changes from the baseline, The three MBT can be used with authenticity in order to judge endurance \& strength capabilities amid young women. The "training trend" has to be abolished prior to conducting the test that is used for assessment of endurance-strength abilities. A minimum of 5 repeats must be executed for the test to provided results. time will be noted in seconds

  6th week

• Illinois Agility Run Test:

  changes from the baseline, Agility is acrucial module of any team sports, however it is not continuously and normally tested, due to the fact its quite challenging to interpret its results. The Illinois Agility Test is a generally used as a test of nimbleness in sportsperson and per se there are several norms available.This is a modest test to govern, requiring little equipment this test also tests out the player's capacity to turn in altered directions and unlike angles. time will be noted in seconds

  6th week

• Plank test:

  changes from the baseline, The plank test is a general test carried out to measure core strength also can be utilized as a fitness drill for enhancing core strength. Purpose of this test is to measure the control and endurance of the back/core stabilizing muscles.time will be noted in seconds

  6th week

• SEBT

  changes from the baseline, The "Star Excursion Balance Test" or "SEBT"is a vigorous test that involves strength, flexibility, and proprioception. The SEBT can also be used to compare balance ability among different sports and to assess physical performance. Research suggests to use this test as a screening tool for sport participation as well as a post-rehabilitation test to ensure dynamic functional symmetry. It has also been shown that the performance of SEBT improves after training. time will be noted in seconds
