Summary

The objective of this study will be to compare the effects of isolated and integrated core stability training on power, balance and performance in fast bowlers.

Eligibility

Sex: MALEMin Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 28 Years

Inclusion Criteria4

• Age group: 18 to 28 years. Individuals younger than 18 needed parental consent, and those older than 30 faced a higher likelihood of degeneration in the thoracic and lumbar spine region
No history of lower back pain
Gender: Male. Considering the differences in anatomy and physiology between males and females, it was deemed advantageous to concentrate solely on one gender to ensure continued homogeneity
They had actively participated in Action Cricket within one of the intermediate leagues for a minimum of six months

Exclusion Criteria5

Athletes with physical disability and major health problems.
Not willing to participate.
Patients with MSK disorders.
Female athletes will not be included because of anatomical and physiological differences.
Participants with a recent history of significant injuries, especially those related to the core or lower extremities, as this could confound the study results.

Interventions

OTHERIsolated Core Stability Program

The control group consists of basic core exercises which include the activation of transversusabdominins and multifidus muscles and progressive strengethening of these muscles in all positions using swiss balls and floor mats. All exercises were done for at least 3 sets of 15 repetitions to build proper core stability.

OTHERIntegrated Core Stability Program

An individualized protocol was designed for these cricketers targeting static and dynamic core stability, with integration of balance, endurance and power component. Tranversusabdominis and multifidus strengthening is combined with upper extremity motions to work on the fast bowling action i.e throwing of the players. At the same time lower extremity balance and strengthening is also included to ensure the high speed of sprint.
