Brief Summary

Cricket is an extremely demanding sport. At an elite level, players are often required to perform at their limits of speed, agility, flexibility, endurance and strength. On top of all of this, players must maintain a high state of concentration in order to meet the tactical/mental demands of dealing with their opponents. In young cricket players, the most important attributes are high levels of skill. A long-term commitment to endurance and strength training is necessary to reach and maintain a player's full physical potential. The two primary objectives of the resistance program are to prevent injury and enhance the game's abilities. Strength plays a key role in all motor abilities, technical skills and tactical actions. Endurance performance capacity has long been recognized as an important prerequisite for on-field performance for Cricket players.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Bench Press Test

  The 1RM test is considered a valid assessment of maximal bench press strength and requires the lifter to push a maximally loaded barbell off their chest from a pause to a fully extended elbow position at approximately eyebrow level

  6 weeks

• Leg Press Test

  This test requires the athlete to complete as many leg presses as possible with no rest. The assistant weighs and records the athlete's weight. The athlete warms up for 10 minutes. The assistant loads the barbell with a weight close to the athlete's one repetition maximum load

  6 weeks

• 30 Second Sit to Stand Test

  Often provides a better picture of the relationship between strength and disability. As the patient does various maneuvers,deficiencies are noted and quantified as much as possible. This test measures the number of times an individual can stand from a chair with no assistance in 30 seconds

  6 weeks
