Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Strength

    Seated power throw (medicine ball) will be used to assess strength and explosive power of the upper body. The athlete sits on the floor with his legs fully extended, feet 24 inches (\~60 cm) apart and with the back against a wall. The ball is held with the hands on the side and slightly behind the centre and back against the centre of the chest. The forearms are positioned parallel to the ground. The athlete throws the medicine ball vigorously as far straight forward as he can while maintaining the back against the wall. The distance thrown is recorded.

    8 weeks

  • Speed

    Speed gun will be used to assess the speed of a ball thrown by a bowler from one end of the pitch to another end.
