Physiology Effect of Circuit Training on Strength Speed and Flexibility Among Fast Bowlers in Cricket

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was the effect of circuit training on strength, speed and flexibility among fast bowlers in cricket. The study was administered on 10 fast bowlers of men cricket team in the age group of 18 to 25 years from Various Engineering colleges affiliated to Anna University, Villupuram. To find the impact of circuit training on the development of strength, speed and flexibility, the pre and post-test had been conducted. The present study makes an attempt to assess the influence of circuit training on strength, speed and flexibility development. It is well understood that several factors are highly inter-related to training and Physical fitness. This application is a significant contribution to the field of physical education and sports in relation to develop Physical fitness of sports persons. The t ratio value of strength (8.249), speed (4.113) was higher than the required table value of 2.262, which proved that there was significant difference on strength and speed among fast bowlers in cricket and flexibility (2.084) was lesser than the required table value of 2.262, which proved that there was no significant difference on flexibility among fast bowlers in cricket. The four weeks circuit training has facilitated the higher performance of the fast bowlers. This clearly indicates that the physical fitness of fast bowlers in cricket was improved after training.
