Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate seasonal variations on selected Physical Fitness Variables and General Motor Ability of Cricket Players of Guru Nanak College of Science, Gondwana University, Ballarpur, Dist. Chandrapur, (M.S.). Eighteen professional male Cricket players (age range 18-22 years) completed three similar sets of tests at three stages of the season: before preseason; after preseason and the middle of the competitive in-season. In this research paper Flexibility is considered. A significant improvement in Flexibility (preseason: 45.2 ± 8.8, post-preseason: 48.2 ± 7.0, mid-season: 49.9 ± 6.9 cm) was observed. The findings suggest that while power training was probably responsible for the anaerobic fitness improvement, the high-volume training led to improvement in aerobic fitness during the preseason. However, the low-intensity aerobic-type training, coupled with the high total training load, may have led to fatigue and decreases in IS and TS during the preseason.
