First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at two different exercise programs—cadence training and elliptical training—to see which one better reduces knee pain and improves leg power and endurance in cricketers with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Forty-eight male cricketers aged 18 to 35 will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups and train three times a week for six weeks. Researchers will measure pain, jump height, and how long they can hold a wall sit to compare the results.
