Background: Cricket, often classified as an aerobic sport,
involves players engaging in diverse activities at varying intensities and
speeds, such as jumping, sprinting, catching, and diving. Despite being
interspersed with intervals, the game demands bursts of explosive actions,
making it crucial to explore the association between explosive power and
endurance in state-level cricketers. This study aims to fill the gap in the
literature by investigating the correlation between these physical attributes,
considering the limited evidence on this topic.
Methods: Conducted in Faridabad, this study involved 100
male state-level cricketers aged 16-23 from various cricket academies. A
thorough screening and assessment protocol was employed for participant
selection, with performance tests measuring explosive power through the
vertical jump test and endurance using the yo-yo intermittent recovery test.
Results: The study unveiled a significant positive
correlation (r = 0.237, p = 0.017) between explosive power and VO2 max levels
in state-level cricketers.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that there is a positive association between explosive power and V02 max levels among state-level cricketers, emphasizing the importance of addressing both aspects in their training regimes.
