Which workout wins for fast bowlers? TRX vs foundation training
NCT ID NCT07440966
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two different exercise programs for cricket fast bowlers: foundation training (bodyweight core exercises) and TRX suspension training (using straps and bodyweight). Forty bowlers aged 18-30 did one of the programs for eight weeks. Researchers measured changes in strength, endurance, and power to see which approach works better for improving performance and reducing injury risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- exercise training programs (foundation training and TRX suspension training)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could point to the best exercise method for cricket fast bowlers to improve performance and reduce injury risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. It compares two exercise programs, not a new drug or treatment.
