Brief Summary

The objective of the study was to determine the effects of plyometric training on agility in national cricket players. The study design was Randomized Controlled Trial. 40 cricket players were included in the study through open epi tool out of which n=20 players were in experimental group and n=20 players were in control group. Assessments were taken as baseline on first week, on third week and on sixth week by performing few exercises such as Illinois Agility Run test, T test and Vertical jump test.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Agility T test

    In T test players have to run 40 yards and time will be noted in seconds. Rating starts from \>11.5 seconds (poor) to \<9.5 seconds (excellent).

    6th week

  • Illinios agility test

    Player have to run about 60 meters and time will be noted in seconds with rating poor \>18.8 seconds and excellent \<15.9 seconds.

    6th week

  • vertical jump height

    The testing subject stood on side of wall and reached her hand at it max. The foot was kept flat on the ground. The finger tip of hand was marked as standing normal max. Distance with foot flat. This was recorded as standing reach height.

    6th week

Interventions

Agility trainingOTHER

In experimental group, 30 meter sprint test will be used as intervention with complexity in different stages. Test 1 was a straight sprint and tests 2-7 involved multiple changes of direction. Tests 2-7 were designed to involve progressively greater change-of-direction complexity by increasing either the angle of directional change and/or the number of changes of direction. In experimental group, 6 weeks of intervention will be done on alternate days and assessment will be done on 1st, 3rd \& 6th week.

Group 1
ConventionalOTHER

In group B, Conventional intervention was given to the players under the supervision of Physical Therapist that includes warm-up, strength training, agility training and cool down. In control group, 6 weeks of intervention will be done on alternate days and assessment will be done on 1st, 3rd \& 6th week
