The study was conducted to compare the cardiac output of cricket players before and after a step test according to their playing positions.
Does playing position affect cardiac output before and after a step test in trained male cricketers?
Does playing position affect cardiac output before and after a step test in trained male cricketers?
Step test raises cardiac output in young cricketers; leaves open whether position-specific responses guide training or selection.
The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiac output of cricket players before and after step test according to their playing positions. 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 batsman cricketer was 17.752.88 year, 171.006.56 cm, 57.008.80 kg and 19.422.22 kg/m 2 respectively. The mean age, height weight and BMI (body mass index) of fast-bowler cricketer was 18.062.43 year, 172.687.50 cm, 59.168.99 kg and 19.842.99 kg/m 2 respectively. The mean age, height weight and BMI (body mass index) of spinner cricketer was 17.882.93 year, 169.408.94 cm, 56.3210.45 kg and 19.542.87 kg/m 2 respectively. The mean age, height weight and BMI (body mass index) of batsman/wicketkeeper cricketer was 18.083.47 year, 172.758.30 cm, 58.6710.34 kg and 19.562.47 kg/m 2 respectively. The mean age, height weight and BMI (body mass index) of all-rounder cricketer was 17.261.74 year, 170.817.74 cm, 56.8910.10 kg and 19.422.71 kg/m 2
