About this study
This study was to determine the effects of plyometric training program on speed and agility in young cricketer. There were two groups, one received plyometric training program and other received training training to improve speed and agility in young cricketers
Read the detailed description
Plyometric training has been an effective method for the improvement of agility, sprinting, and jumping ability and it has also been reported to Improve running economy, joint stability, increased joint awareness and overall proprioception and decrease the severity of knee injuries. In the Plyometric exercise involves starting, stopping, and change of movement directions which contribute to agility development.The athletes use plyometric training techniques in many sports to improve explosive power and body strength. The plyometrics is a rapid stretch of muscle (eccentric) contraction straight away shortening (concentric) contraction in similar muscle tissue

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Plyometric Training Program | Experimental | The plyometric training group participated in a 6-week training program performing a variety of plyometric exercises designed for the lower extremity , while the control group did not participate in any plyometric exercises. All subjects were instructed not to start any lower extremity strengthening programs during the 6-week period and to only perform activities of normal daily living.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Speed Test (10 meter sprint test)
Speed tests are typically used solely to measure an athlete's linear speed capabilities. More specifically, the 10-metre (m) sprint test is used to measure acceleration. Before the introduction of timing gates, speed tests were typically officiated using stopwatches, though stopwatches are still useful and can be used reliably, the use of timing gates is highly recommended and essential when precision is required.
As the 10m sprint test measures acceleration from a static position, it is a common testing protocol as a large majority of sports often involve such short-distance sprint movements. Sports that include any form of short-distance acceleration should often include a 10m sprint test in their performance testing battery.
Measured: 8 Weeks
Agility T-Test
the T-Test is a test of agility for athletes, and includes forward, lateral, and backward running. equipment required: tape measure, marking cones, stopwatch, timing gates.
Test setup: Set out four cones Procedure: The subject starts at cone A. On the command of the timer, the subject sprints to cone B and touches the base of the cone with their right hand. They then turn left and shuffle sideways to cone C, and also touches its base, this time with their left hand. Then shuffling sideways to the right to cone D and touching the base with the right hand. They then shuffle back to cone B touching with the left hand, and run backwards to cone A. The stopwatch is stopped as they pass cone A. Take the best time of three successful trials to the nearest 0.1 seconds.
Measured: 8 Weeks
