Effects of Plyometric and High Intensity Interval Training on Sprint Speed, Agility and Power Among Female Fast Bowlers
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
This study will investigate the comparative effects of plyometric training (PT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on key performance metrics: sprint speed, agility, and power. The research will be conducted as a randomized clinical trial over six months, involving 34 participants recruited from cricket academies.

Plyometric Training
Frequency: Three sessions per week on non-consecutive days to allow for adequate recovery. Intensity: High-intensity exercises performed at 80-90% of maximum effort. Exercises include box jumps, depth jumps, lateral bounds, and tuck jumps targeting explosive power and agility. Time: Each session lasts approximately 45-60 minutes, including: Warm-up (10 minutes), Core Plyometric Exercises (30-40 minutes), Cool-down (5-10 minutes) Type: Explosive lower-body movements utilizing the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) to improve neuromuscular coordination, sprint speed, and power."
(High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
Frequency: Three sessions per week (e.g., Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) with a rest day between sessions. Intensity: Alternating between 85-95% of maximum heart rate during high-intensity intervals and 50-60% of maximum heart rate during recovery periods. Work-to-rest ratio of 1:2 (e.g., 30 seconds of high-intensity sprints followed by 60 seconds of low-intensity walking). Time: Each session lasts approximately 45-50 minutes, including: Warm-up (10 minutes), HIIT Intervals (25-30 minutes with 8-12 work-rest cycles), Cool-down (5-10 minutes) Type: Cardiovascular exercises such as sprinting, cycling, or shuttle runs designed to enhance anaerobic capacity, agility, and sprint speed.
