Abstract

This experimental study aims to investigate the effect of an 8-week circuit training program on selected physical fitness components among male cricket players aged 20 to 25 years. A sample of 30 male cricket players from Abdul Wali Khan University participated in the study, undergoing a meticulously designed Circuit Training Program (CTP) three days per week for 8 weeks. The study employed an array of tests, including assessments of flexibility and leg explosive strength. The analyses revealed compelling evidence supporting the effectiveness of the circuit training program. Significant improvements were observed in muscular strength and flexibility within the Experimental Group, emphasizing the positive impact of the intervention. The study provides valuable insights into the tailored training interventions for cricket players, highlighting the importance of circuit training in enhancing various physical fitness components. Recommendations for coaches, trainers, and players are outlined to optimize training programs and foster comprehensive athlete development. The findings contribute to the sports science literature and underscore the significance of personalized training interventions for specific athletic populations.
