A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of plyometric training versus traditional bowling drills on the speed and agility of male fast bowlers. A total of 22 club-level fast bowlers, aged 20-35, will be randomly assigned to either a plyometric training group or a bowling drills group, with each group participating in their respective training for six weeks. Performance metrics, including speed and agility, will be assessed before and after the training period using various sprint and agility tests. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS to determine the effectiveness of each training method.
