Cricket players also need to follow a strength and conditioning program
concentrating on a combination of strength training and workouts
Movements to enable bowlers and bats man to stay in optimum performance during
long matches
Along with building a good base of strength and fitness, ideally as a team in
order to produce a higher level of combined skills, as cricket is a sport that
is played in two forms, batting and fielding.
Bats man aim to stay at the crease for as long as possible, sometimes for
periods of over 4 hours. In order to occupy this position, a good bats man most
be able to stay focused, have good ball / eye skills, and have the strengths and
fitness to make each shot played count. The power will come from having a strong
core, abdominal mid-section and the ability to generate explosive upper body
actions, however with that said, using the kinetic energy of the ball as it
speeds towards you, only requires a slight change in direction in order to score
4 runs - unfortunately this skill has only be given to a few class bats man.
Fielders need the ability to sustain a concentrated effort for a 6 hour plus
period without fatigue, in sometimes very warm conditions. There bodies most be
capable of explosive bursts at any given time - such as racing for a ball,
jumping for a catch. Aim to keep your body moving whilst on the pitch, walking
and stretching the muscles whenever possible. Keep your mind busy by visualizing
exactly what you will do when the ball comes towards you.
Bowlers require both explosive strength and speed, combined with good muscular
endurance, in order to be able to maintain a high number of over's. Poor fitness
and muscular strength will result in inaccurate bowling, and greater risk of
injury, especially for high speed bowlers.
