What this trial studies
This study investigates the effects of split-body versus full-body resistance training on amateur cricket players. A total of 28 male participants aged 20 to 30 will be randomly assigned to one of two training regimens over a period of six weeks. One group will focus on split-body exercises targeting specific muscle groups each day, while the other group will engage in full-body resistance training sessions. The effectiveness of each training method will be evaluated using functional movement screening and strength tests at the end of the training period.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are male amateur cricket players aged 20 to 30 with no history of systemic diseases.
Not a fit: Patients who have undergone surgery in the past three years or are currently engaged in strength training may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the physical performance and injury prevention strategies for amateur cricket players.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on resistance training in athletes, this specific comparison of split-body versus full-body training in cricket players is relatively novel.
