Filter by:To determine the effects of ladder training versus plyometric training program on agility, speed and power in domestic female cricket players. Plyometric training program and ladder training program consider effective training methods for players for development of speed, agility and power.
The aim of the research is to evaluate the effects of tool-assisted soft tissue mobilization and kinesiology tape applications applied to the Hamstring muscle on balance, agility and jumping in athletics athletes.
This study aims to investigate the acute effects of PNF modified sleeper stretches and percussive massage treatment on shoulder rotation movements and attack speed in female volleyball players and compare these applications.
This study will be a randomized controlled trial and the data will be collected from National Cricket Academy and domestic cricket clubs. The sample size will be calculated by conducting a pilot study. There will be three groups. Group-A will be receiving Complex training, Group-B will be receiving Conventional training and Group C as a Control Group. Athletes with same physical fitness level will be recruited. There will be parallel assignment of the participants. Assessor will be kept blinded. All the parameters would be assessed at Baseline, 6 Weeks, 12 Weeks. Physical fitness will be assessed through Field Testing. Bowling performance will be assessed through speed machine and Kinovea Software. Work capacity will be assessed through step testing. Muscle strength will be assessed through Dynamometer. Lastly, BMD will be assessed though Bone Densitometer.
The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of a synchronous-supervised online home-based group during a 6-month exercise program on physical fitness, body composition and adherence compared to an exercise recommendation group of patients undergoing breast cancer treatment without supervision.
The study is a randomized controlled trial. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Group A will be the wobble board proprioceptive training program lasting for four weeks, while Group B will be administered the multi-station proprioceptive training program lasting for four weeks.
Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International university Randomized Control Trial (RCT) will be conducted at Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Lahore, through convenience sampling technique on 44 athletes of soccer which will be allocated using random sampling through computerized generated number into Group A and Group B, 6 athletes will be in each group. Group A (interventional) will be given conventional training along with Speed Endurance Production (SEP) Training. Group B (Control) will be will be given conventional training
Occlusion training is simply a way of restricting blood flow in the veins of a working muscle in hopes to kick-start some larger gains in muscle size and strength. Occlusion training performed during hockey training on speed and physical performance of hockey players. This training also known as blood flow restriction training, can be defined as the training of muscles while limiting blood flow to the muscles and typically done by performing high intensity, low weight, lifts while using some form of tourniquet or band to limit blood supply to limb being trained.
Physical therapies based on electrical or electromagnetic stimulation have been used in rehabilitation, in some cases combining electrical therapy with radiofrequency. Specifically, resistive capacitive electrical transfer therapy (CRet) has been used in physical rehabilitation and sports medicine to treat muscle, bone, ligament and tendon injuries. CRet is a non-invasive electrothermal therapy classified as deep thermotherapy, which is based on the application of electrical currents within the radiofrequency range of 300 kHz - 1.2 MHz. While the heat conducted by surface thermotherapy cannot reach the muscle due to the electrical resistance of the tissues, the capacitive-resistive electrical currents in CRet therapy can generate heating of deep muscle tissues, which in turn improves haemoglobin saturation. In Europe, CRet is widely used in various medical rehabilitation processes. The physiological effects of this type of physiotherapy are generated by the application of an electromagnetic field with a frequency of approximately 0.5 MHz to the human body. The effects attributed to this technique include increased deep and superficial blood circulation, vasodilatation, increased temperature, removal of excess fluid and increased cell proliferation. Some of these reactions, such as increased blood perfusion, are known to be related to the increase in temperature, but others, such as increased cell proliferation, appear to be primarily related to the passage of current. It is also true that this increase in tissue temperature, generated through the application of the device, is a physical reaction to the passage of current (Joule effect). Although there is already clinical literature supporting this mechanism, the amount of energy and current that must be transferred to obtain the desired temperature rise is unknown. Moreover, the control of these reactions, by adjusting parameters such as absorbed power and electrode position, is still largely based on the empirical experience of therapists . Recently, new cadaveric publications have been generated, which support the mechanisms of current flow and thermal changes in this situation. Against this background, in which thermal effects, current passage and symptomatic improvements have been demonstrated in patients with pathology, the possibility that these treatments may improve functional sporting abilities is raised. This hypothesis arises from the fact that current flow and thermal changes have been directly related to viscoelastic changes in capsular and muscle tissue. To date, there is no study that has assessed whether this therapy generates any change in functional variables related to sports performance in professional athletes.
Cricket is an extremely demanding sport. At an elite level, players are often required to perform at their limits of speed, agility, flexibility, endurance and strength. On top of all of this, players must maintain a high state of concentration in order to meet the tactical/mental demands of dealing with their opponents. In young cricket players, the most important attributes are high levels of skill. A long-term commitment to endurance and strength training is necessary to reach and maintain a player's full physical potential. The two primary objectives of the resistance program are to prevent injury and enhance the game's abilities. Strength plays a key role in all motor abilities, technical skills and tactical actions. Endurance performance capacity has long been recognized as an important prerequisite for on-field performance for Cricket players.
