ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the effects of two different types of training—plyometric training and bowling drills—on male fast bowlers in cricket. The goal is to see which type of training helps these athletes improve their bowling skills, including speed and accuracy. Fast bowlers play a crucial role in the game, and enhancing their performance can significantly impact their team's success on the field.
To participate in this study, candidates must be male fast bowlers between the ages of 20 and 35, with at least one year of experience in fast bowling at the club level. However, those with certain health issues, recent surgeries, or who are currently doing plyometric training won't be eligible. Participants can expect to take part in specific training sessions designed for the study, which will help researchers understand how each training method works. It's important to note that the study is still recruiting participants, so there's an opportunity for eligible bowlers to join in and contribute to the research!
