Studying the Impact of High-Intensity Resistance Training on the Physical Fitness of Cricket Players in Government College of Physical Education, Quetta

This study investigated the impact of a 12-week high-intensity resistance training (HIRT) program on cricket players' physical fitness at the Government College of Physical Education in Quetta, Pakistan. The study included twenty male cricket gentleman's (mean age 23.5 years, SD 3.1). Participants were divided into two groups: The group performing the experiment (EG, n = 10) went through the HIRT program, while the control group (CG, n = 10) did not engage in any specific training. Physical fitness assessments were conducted pre- and post-intervention, including tests for muscular strength, power, agility, and endurance. Results showed significant improvements (p < .05) in muscular strength, power, and agility in the EG compared to the CG. However, no significant differences were found in endurance. These results suggest that HIRT can be a successful technique to enhance fitness levels in cricketers.
