Group A: will receives foundation exercise training targeting endurance, strength, and power improvement Participants will undergo an 8-week progressive core training program, performed 5 sessions per week (30-40 minutes/session). The protocol advances from core stability to strength, endurance, and power using standardized exercises (planks, side planks, dead bugs) with gradual increases in intensity and repetitions based on FITT principles.

Group B: will participates in total resistance exercise (TRX) suspension training with similar goals. Participant follow an 8-week total resistance (TRX-based) core training program, conducted 5 sessions per week with each session lasting 30-40 minutes. Training will progress from core stability to strength, endurance, and power by gradually increasing resistance and repetitions using TRX planks to push-ups, push-ups, chest press, and push press, in accordance with FITT principles.

Group A will undergo an 8-week foundation-based core exercise program performed 5 sessions per week, with each session lasting 30-40 minutes. The program will progressively advance from core stability to strength, endurance, and power using bodyweight exercises (planks, side planks, dead bugs), with gradual increases in intensity, repetitions, and reduced rest intervals following FITT principles.

The 1RM (one-repetition maximum) bicep curl is a measure of the maximum weight an individual can lift for one complete repetition of a bicep curl with proper form. This measure is commonly used to assess the maximal strength of the bicep muscles and to establish baseline strength for strength training programs. Performing a 1RM test for the bicep curl involves gradually increasing weights until only one repetition can be achieved without compromising technique. Typically, adult males can curl about 50-60% of their body weight for a 1RM bicep curl, with variations based on age and training level. Generally, adult females can curl around 30-40% of their body weight for a 1RM

The medicine ball throw is used to assess upper-body power and explosive strength. Participants throw a standardized medicine ball (2-10 kg, based on protocol and participant capacity) from a standing or seated position, with the distance achieved recorded in meters. Performance is categorized using sex-specific normative values for male and female cricket players to interpret power output.

Push-ups are a classic bodyweight exercise that primarily target the chest (pectoralis major), shoulders (deltoids), and triceps, while also engaging core muscles for stability. Push-ups are widely used in strength training, endurance tests, and fitness assessments. Variations, such as incline, decline, or one-arm push-ups, adjust difficulty levels and engage different muscle groups for a well-rounded upper body workout. For male cricket players, an excellent score is above 20 push-ups, above average is 15-20 push-ups, average is 10 to 15, and below average is less than 10. Female players excellent score is 15 push-ups, score above average with 10 to 12, average with 6-8, and below average 4-6 push-ups.
