Brief Summary
|
Over the past decade, there has been an increase in interest & participation in sports like cricket, football, batminton. Cricket is one of the most popular sports with approximately 2.5 billion people of all ages and abilities participating in over 60 countries across the globe. Players use a bat and ball
to execute strategic moves within designated areas. This sport emphasizes not only physical skill but also strategic thinking and teamwork. Bowling plays an important role in cricket. To be a successful cricket player it is necessary for the athlete to be capable of throwing ball with power & accuracy from one point to the next point of play. An effective throw is the result of a combination of good technique & the contribution of several physical factors, including the upper limb strength, range of motion, limb length, anthropometric measurements, & kinetic factors. Cricket player needs more momentum & more power because the ball travels at much faster speed & over a much further distance. The concept of plyometric push-up came from plyometric which is a non- traditional form of resistance training emphasizing the loading of muscles during an eccentric muscle action, which is quickly followed by are bound concentric action thus plyometric exercises such as plyometric push-ups have been added to a weight training program or team practices. Plyometric pushups involve explosive movements, leveraging the stretch- shortening cycle to develop power and strength, crucial for fast bowling. The aim of the study to find the plyometric push-ups and its efficacy on throwing distance and accuracy among fast bowlers. OBJECTIVES : 1. To evaluate the effect of plyometric push-ups on throwing distance among fast bowlers. 2. To determine the impact of plyometric push-ups on throwing accuracy in fast bowlers. Subjects who have fulfilled the criteria are randomly assigned into two groups, each group 15 subjects are assigned. Total 30 subjects in which Experimental group receive Plyometric push-ups along with regular exercise while Control group receive Regular exercise PLYOMETRIC PUSHUPS:
Push-ups 3 sets with 10 repetitions in each set and 2 minutes rest between each set. REGULAR EXERCISES:
15 to 20 minutes every day 6 sessions are conducted. Outcomes used are Medicine Ball Throw Test , target test. The expected outcome of this study is that adding plyometric pushups to a fast bowlers training will help improve both the distance and accuracy of their rows. |
