Boosting Power Hitting in Cricket: Core Stability and Rotational Strength Exercises

Abstract

Cricket is a sport that demands a combination of strength, agility, and precision. Among the various skills required, power hitting is crucial for scoring boundaries and quickly changing the game’s momentum. This study investigates the impact of core stability and rotational strength exercises on enhancing power hitting in cricket. A sample size of 500 amateur and semi-professional cricketers was used to evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted exercise regimen over a period of six months. The results indicate a significant improvement in hitting power, suggesting that these exercises should be integral to cricket training programs.
