Summary

A team sport such as cricket consists of irregular sequences of high- and low-intensity motions utilising different metabolic pathways. Athlete performance in this sport is correlated with every facet of physical fitness, including muscular strength, agility, speed, anaerobic power (vertical leap), and aerobic capacity. All aspects of physical fitness, such as aerobic capacity, anaerobic power (vertical leap), agility, speed, and muscular strength, are related to success in this sport. Plyometric training that is repetitive and intermittent has been recommended as a useful tactic for cricket-specific training regimens. Plyometric exercise training is a type of workout regimen designed to enhance nervous system functioning and generate powerful, quick movements, ultimately improving sports performance. Plyometric training aims to increase muscular explosiveness, which enables an athlete to run more quickly, leap higher, or exert force more quickly. Because it takes into account the aspects of strength, power, balance, agility, coordination, core and joint stability, foot speed, hand-eye coordination, response time, and mobility, ladder training is a multidirectional kind of exercise. During ladder training, the four fundamental abilities utilized are running, skipping, shuffling, and leaping. These ladders are lightweight and portable, making them easy to carry and use both indoors and outdoors. The player's footwork will be significantly enhanced, leading to an increase in quickness, agility, and coordination following consistent use of various speed ladder training.

Interventions

OTHER

Ladder training

Players exercised three times a week for sixty minutes apiece on a ladder for eight weeks. The drills were divided into three categories: steady state drills, burst drills, and elastic reaction drills. While steady state training focused on agility and endurance, burst drills were more focused on fast foot movement. Elastic response drills targeted the reactive speed components of the lower leg.

OTHER

Plyometric training

For eight weeks, the players performed a 60-minute plyometric training program three times a week. A fifteen-minute warm-up, stretching, and jogging session comes after the thirty minutes of plyometric training. The cool-down consists of fifteen minutes of light running and stretching.
