The purpose of the questionnaire was to identify the availability of resistance training during the season and identify whether the players have time to perform. The second part of the study sought to develop a time- and cost-effective training program that amateur club-level players can use to improve their bowling speed.
Background to the research problem
Statement of the research problem
Additionally, to optimize training for amateur players and coaches, it would be ideal to find a resistance training program that can be used during practice sessions.
Aims and objectives of the study
Data analysis
It will identify resistance training methods that can be used to increase ball speed in various ball sports.
Literature collection and selection
As a result, strengthening both the upper and lower body through resistance training can potentially result in an increase in ball release speed. Resistance training, used to improve ball speed in a number of sports, can be roughly categorized into three types.
General resistance training
There was no significant difference in throwing velocity in the control group that received no resistance training. The authors found only a 2.3 km/h increase in throwing velocity after 6 weeks of heavy resistance training.
Special resistance training
The six-week program had recreational baseball players perform baseball-specific explosive drills for two sets of 8-12 repetitions of each of 16 exercises. After reviewing the relevant literature on special resistance exercises, the most effective method to increase throwing speed is the use of plyometric training with a 3 kg medicine ball for throwing exercises (two-handed) (2-3 sets of 6-10 repetitions ) for. 6-8 weeks, which will result in an approximate 2 km/h increase in throwing speed.
Specific resistance training
A review of the study by DeRenne et al. 1990) shows that using overloaded balls (specifically 10% and 20%) as a method to improve throwing speed can produce impressive results. The use of underweight balls as a training method has emerged mainly in baseball (DeRenne et al. Fleisig et al., 2006) and handball (Edwards Van Muijen et al., 1991), where all studies found a significant increase in throwing speed. 1985) was the first to publish the results of using underweighted balls.
Combined resistance training
-test results showed a 3 km/h improvement in bowling speed for the experimental group, although their bowling accuracy dropped significantly. Despite the increase in bowling speed, the decrease in bowling accuracy may be due to bowling with heavy balls. There is also a decrease in bowling accuracy after using a combination of the three types of resistance training that needs to be considered (Feros et al., 2016).
Practical changes should be made to these studies to ensure improvement in bowling speed.
Upper body power
Lower body power
The counter-movement jump test (Hermassi et al., 2011) begins in an upright position, with a rapid downward movement to a knee angle of 90°, followed by a strong push off the ground and upward movement. Gorostiaga et al. 2011) to measure the leg strength of their participants. Despite the significant increase in throw velocity in both studies, there was no significant change measured in the counter-movement jump test.
The squat jump test showed no significant increase for Gorostiaga et al. 1999), but a significant increase for Hermassi et al.
Accuracy
The distance between the delivery impact and the target was digitized and used as a measure of accuracy. Although all these network systems are similar, the method used by Phillips et al. 2012) has an advantage over other grid systems because it can adjust for changes in the length of the shipments and has more target scoring areas to accommodate this. An area was marked out for the duration of the trial, and targets that were placed in various positions on the court measured a given line and length of delivery.
The ball may bounce in the perfect target zone on the court, but the swing ends up deviating from the ideal position as it passes the putt.
Exercise adherence
The design of the net allowed a maximum score of 100 points for all shots hit past the center stump line up to about 25cm outside the overhang and all shots bowled from good length or slightly below good length. 2007) used five marked scoring areas specifically designed to surround a single ground cricket stump. The advantage of placing the target upright in either the kicking position or the kicking position is that it represents where the ball is as it passes the goalposts/kicker. The advantage of the diary is that it can serve as a reminder to the participant to do what the program asks him to do, but it can also become a limitation because the patient simply forgets to write in it.
Some athletes lie about their performance of the exercise program—for example, they could log/diary a session without actually doing so—or are simply unable to accurately recall their compliance (Myers & Midence, 1998).
Summary
The studies reviewed indicate that all specific resistance training was performed at maximal explosive effort. The studies reviewed did not mention the time taken to complete a resistance training session. The only additional time will be allocated to the general and special resistance training, which will add approximately 20 minutes to their training session.
This can be in the form of a 3 kg medicine ball and cricket balls with adjusted weights.
Hypothesis
There will be a significant increase in upper body muscle strength after four weeks of resistance training. The null hypothesis is that there will be no significant change in upper body muscle strength after four weeks of resistance training. There will be a significant increase in lower body muscle strength after four weeks of resistance training.
The null hypothesis is that there will be no significant changes in lower body muscle strength after four weeks of resistance training.
Study design and ethical considerations
This chapter describes the design of the study and the questionnaire administered to participants during the cricket season.
Questionnaire
Experimental trial
After the study was completed, the control group was provided with a training program for personal use. Before starting the experimental and control trials, all participants completed a baseline test (pretest). The average of total points scored during bowling was used for data analysis.
All participants were familiarized with the strength training program before the start of the trial.
Data analysis and statistics
Participants in the control group had to perform their normal training protocol during each session, bowling only with a normal weighted ball. To determine whether participants in the experimental group adhered to the training protocol as required, an attendance survey was conducted. In addition, to increase adherence, the researcher randomly visited the training sessions of the participants to monitor and assist them if necessary.
Club coaches were also introduced to the exercises and training protocol to further assist the players and increase adherence to the trial.
Questionnaire
Participants were asked whether they participated in strength training during the cricket season, whether they had a training contract and whether they used it. Fifty-six percent of participants claimed to do strength training during the cricket season, while 44% did not. 43 percent of participants confirmed that they had a gym membership, while only 24% of them actually go to the gym for weight training.
The main reasons were that it was too expensive or that they did not have time to participate.
Experimental trial
The types of exercises done included lifting weights, working on leg, shoulder, back or core strength, and working on their direction, technique or hand speed. However, there was a moderate effect size between baseline and week two (g = 0.65) and a near-medium effect size between baseline and four weeks of training (g = 0.45). There was a significant positive mean correlation between bowling speed and bounce height (r= . 0.503, p= 0.024) after two weeks.
During the fourth test there was another moderately positive significant correlation between bowling speed and jump height (r= 0.570, p= 0.017).
Questionnaire
Experimental trial
An additional advantage of the training protocol was that the duration was only four weeks. This may be due to the fact that the medicine ball throwing exercises used elbow extension as the main upper body movement, but the fast bowler should keep their elbow relatively straight (less than 15° extension). In contrast to the experimental group, there was a statistically significant increase in upper body muscle strength in the control group.
Second, the training program could have increased upper body strength, resulting in an increase in the speed of the arm, hand, and/or shoulder complex during bowling.
Overview
The results of this study lead to the adoption of an alternative hypothesis as follows: there was a significant increase in bowling speed after four weeks. The results of this study lead to the acceptance of an alternative hypothesis as follows: after four weeks, there was no change in bowling accuracy. The results of this study lead to the rejection of the alternative hypothesis as follows: after four weeks, there was no significant increase in upper body strength.
The results of this study led to the rejection of the alternative hypothesis as follows: there was no significant increase in lower body strength after four weeks.
