This research aims to compare the effects of sprint training and power training on speed and repeated sprint ability in cricket fast bowlers. Fast bowling involves complex whole-body movements to deliver the ball at high velocity, requiring specialized training to improve speed, strength, and cardiovascular fitness. Sprinting and power exercises are important because they help athletes run faster, build muscle, and enhance overall fitness. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will perform sprint training involving 20-meter sprints, while the other group will engage in power training exercises including countermovement jumps, squat jumps, and broad jumps. Each group will complete 12 sessions over 4 weeks, with training occurring three times per week. Power training exercises will include two trials per exercise with one-minute rest periods between trials. During the study, participants' speed and repeated sprint ability will be measured over a 10-month period. Researchers will collect data and analyze it using statistical software to assess the impact of each training type. The study involves physically fit fast bowlers aged 18 to 30 years, with experience in fast bowling, and will monitor their performance and fitness outcomes throughout the trial.
