NCT ID NCT07260318

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at how a single session of cricket fast bowling changes certain substances in the blood that are linked to bone health. Fourteen healthy young male fast bowlers will have their blood tested before, right after, and two hours after bowling. The goal is to see if this type of intense exercise causes short-term changes in bone turnover markers.
