简要总结
The complex training starts with a high load of resistance training that is succeeded by plyometric training. This combination aims at improving the efficacy of the plyometric training stimulus, thus increasing the neuromuscular response, explosive strength, and power. This response might further be improved by making appropriate variations in the dosage parameters of complex training. Previously available literature reports conflicting evidence, with some studies supporting the effectiveness of complex training for improving power output in sports, whereas others contradict this rationale. There is a paucity of research evidence that directly compares the efficacy of plyometric and complex training for the outcomes of physical performance in cricket players.

结局指标
主要结局
Multistage Fitness
时间窗: 4 weeks.
For this test, the subject had to run between two lines marked 66 feet apart (20 meters). Pre-recorded beeps were played, and the subjects had to increase their speed with each beep, thereby determining their aerobic fitness based on the number of laps completed.
Lateral Cone Jump
时间窗: 4 weeks.
Two cones were kept with a crossbar or tape fastened across them with the subject standing on one side. The subjects were made to jump to cross the bar and land on the opposite side. The time was started as soon as the subject's foot left the ground, and the total number of lateral jumps performed in 30 seconds was counted.
Core Muscle Strength
时间窗: 4 weeks.
Athletes assumed a pike position with the elbows under the shoulders, the forearms shoulder-width apart on the floor, toes on the floor, buttocks in a neutral position, and the body in a straight line.
Push-Up
时间窗: 4 weeks.
The subjects performed the push-up with their hands and toes touching the floor. In the eccentric phase, the subjects moved down until they were at a 5 cm distance from the floor. The total number of push-ups completed in proper form was counted.
Stationary Vertical Jump
时间窗: 4 weeks.
A tape measure was attached to the wall, with the subject standing adjacent to it. They were supposed to touch the highest point on the wall with their inked middle fingertip. This point was taken as the standing height of the subject. Then, the subject performed a vertical jump with the assistance of both arms and legs to reach the maximum possible height and marked the wall with their inked middle fingertip. The difference between the two points was calculated as the final score.
