Key result
The Queen's step test significantly increased mean cardiac output from 6.20 L/min at rest to 11.01 L/min in male cricket players, with no statistically significant differences observed based on playing experience.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to compare the cardiac output of cricket players before and after a step test based on their playing experience.
Does playing experience affect cardiac output before and after a step test in trained male cricketers?
Cross-Sectional (n=150)
Yes
Does playing experience affect cardiac output before and after a step test in trained male cricketers?
Mean Difference: 4.81
Absolute Event Rate: 11.01% vs 6.2%
p-value: p=0.00
Cardiac output response to a step test varies significantly among cricket players based on their years of playing experience.
Exploratory cardiac output data in young cricketers after step test; leaves open experience-related effects pending controlled trials.
Aims:The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiac output of cricket players before and after step test on the basis of their playing experience.Materials and Methods: There was one hundred fifty (N=150) trained male cricketers between the ages of 15 and 25 years volunteered for this study.Anthropometric rod, Weighing machine were used.Blood pressure was recorded with a digital sphygmomanometer according to the standardized protocol recommended by World Health Organization.Results: The mean age, height weight and BMI (body mass index) of playing experience Group-1(1to5year) cricketer was 17.19±2.06year, 170.57±7.67 cm, 56.01±8.99kg and 19.19±2.44 kg/m 2 respectively.The mean age, height weight and BMI (body mass index) of playing experience Group-2(6 to10year) cricketer was 19.50±3.24year, 173.50±6.46cm, 62.29±9.20 kg and 20.64±2.47 kg/m 2 respectively.The mean age, height weight and BMI (body mass index) of playing experience Group-3(11to15year) cricketer was 24.67±0.57year, 174.00±8.54cm, 69.33±6.02kg and 23.08±3.86kg/m 2 respectively.Conclusion: It was concluded that the cardiac output showed significant statistical increase represented by values of step test.There was a statistically significant difference in the variance of mean cardiac output (after Queen's step test) of 1 to 5 year, playing experience of 6 to 10 year, playing experience of 11 to 15 year) cricket players.

Kathayat et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy male cricket players (n=150). Queen's step test vs. Resting state was evaluated on Cardiac output (MD 4.81, p=0.00). The Queen's step test significantly increased mean cardiac output from 6.20 L/min at rest to 11.01 L/min in male cricket players, with no statistically significant differences observed based on playing experience.
