Comparative Effects of Sprint and Power Training in Cricket Fast Bowlers
A study testing sprint training and Power Training in people with Sports Physical Therapy, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
Sprints can be a really effective way to improve participants cardiovascular fitness, strength and power, and running economy. Participants can gain bigger improvements and in less time with sprinting than with continuous easy running. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Comparative Effects of Sprint and Power Training on Speed and Repeated Sprint Ability in Cricket Fast Bowlers
Sprints can be a really effective way to improve participants cardiovascular fitness, strength and power, and running economy. Participants can gain bigger improvements and in less time with sprinting than with continuous easy running. Power training typically involves exercises which apply the maximum amount of force as fast as possible. Both these trainings are vital to increase the speed and repeated sprint ability in cricket fast bowlers.
Read the detailed description
Fast bowling requires a highly specialized and unique training approach as the whole body is used in the delivery of the ball to achieve maximum velocity. For this purpose, the fast bowlers must perform the sprint training which is high intensity interval training as it boosts the speed and power, helps to run faster, build muscles and increase the cardiovascular health. Along with sprint training fast bowlers undergo power training which also helps to run faster, improve strength and speed and maintain fitness.
It will be a Randomized clinical trial with sample size of 34 calculated by G-power with 10- m sprint test, using non probability convenient sampling technique. The study will include physically fit and healthy fast bowlers of age 18-30 years. Participants will be divided into 2 equal experimental groups. One group will perform sprint training which include 10 meter run or repeated sprint ability and other will perform power training including squat jump or countermovement jump consisting of 12 sessions for 4 weeks (3 sessions each week). Data will be assessed by using SPSS version 25

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Speed
speed is assessed by 10-m sprint test. participants will run for 10 meters on the sound of GO. the time taken for the completion of 10 meter track will be recorded by a handled stopwatch. Measurements will be taken before and after 10-m sprint test.
Measured: 10 months
Repeated Sprint Ability
Repeated-sprint ability (RSA) is now well accepted as an important fitness component in team-sport performance. It is broadly described as the ability to perform repeated short (~3-4 s, 20-30 m) sprints with only brief (~10-30 s) recovery between bouts. measurements will be taken before and after the repeated sprint ability test.
Measured: 10 months
