Effect Of Fifa11+ Program On Fitness Parameters And Quality Of Life Among Cricket Players

NEED OF THE STUDY

There is limited studies on the effect of fifa11+ program on fitness parameters among cricketers. Flexibility, Balance, Co-ordination and Reaction time in cricketers are not investigated yet.

Hence, the investigators have intention to explore the efficacy of Fifa11+ program on rest of the fitness parameters in cricketers.

|SIGNIFICANCE

The study will give an insight on the outcome about the effect of Fifa11+ program on fitness parameters and quality of life among Cricket players.

This will give an insight to clinician fraternity about the exploration and efficacy of Fifa11+ program for their professional implication. This will be an easy, understandable and low cost program for athletes.

  |AIM

To study the effect of fifa11+ program on fitness parameters and quality of life among cricket players.

OBJECTIVE

To find out the effect of fifa11+ program on fitness parameters and quality of life among cricket players.

  |HYPOTHESIS

       1.     NULL HYPOTHESIS- There is no significant effect of fifa11+ program on fitness parameters and quality of life among cricket players.

  2.     ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS- There is significant effect of fifa11+ program on fitness parameters and quality of life among cricket players.

Procedure:

A written consent form was given to the participants ensuring participation of the athlete in this research and confidentiality of the data maintained.

The data was collected by administering V-Sit and reach test for flexibility, Y- Balance test for Balance, Agility T- test for Agility , Ruler drop test for the Reaction time, Alternate hand wall toss test for the Co-ordination and Athlete life quality scale.

Group A (Experimental group) receive pre-training exercises the FIFA11+ program for 20 minutes before training sessions and

receive post-training exercises only running exercise for 10 minutes after training sessions,

 In Strength, Plyometrics and Balance exercises Level-2 (Intermediate) exercise protocol is taken.

In between running exercises and level-2 strength, plyometrics and balance exercises intermittent rest should be provided.

 This protocol give three times per week for 4 weeks

 Group B (Control group) receive conventional static stretching protocol followed by a dynamic stretching protocol. Each protocol consisted of 10 minutes each. So, total 20minutes stretching given.

The static stretching and dynamic stretching exercises were repeated 2 times on each leg. These exercises were performed for duration of 30 seconds with 10-second recovery period among each exercise. Mainly focused on quadriceps, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, soleus, gluteus, adductors, and hip flexors

 In both groups, as a baseline intervention, subjects performed at least a 5-minute self-paced general warm-up comprising of low intensity to moderate intensity aerobic exercise including 3 minutes of forwarding jogging, 1minute of side stepping, and 1 minute of jogging backwards.

The assessment should be done at the baseline and after four weeks.

 All the measurement of fitness parameters will be taken and computed and will be for final completion of statistical analysis
