The sample size will be calculated by conducting a pilot study. There will be three groups. Group-A will be receiving Complex training, Group-B will be receiving Conventional training and Group C as a Control Group. Athletes with same physical fitness level will be recruited. There will be parallel assignment of the participants. Assessor will be kept blinded. All the parameters would be assessed at Baseline, 6 Weeks, 12 Weeks. Physical fitness will be assessed through Field Testing. Bowling performance will be assessed through speed machine and Kinovea Software. Work capacity will be assessed through step testing. Muscle strength will be assessed through Dynamometer. Lastly, BMD will be assessed though Bone Densitometer., conditionsModule conditions: Resistance Training, conditions: Plyometric Exercise, conditions: Sports Physical Therapy, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: randomized controlled trial, primaryPurpose: OTHER, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 40, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Complex Training, interventions name: Conventional Training, interventions name: Control Group, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Physical fitness (linear speed capability), primaryOutcomes measure: Physical fitness (lower limb explosive power), primaryOutcomes measure: Physical fitness (upper body strength test), primaryOutcomes measure: Physical fitness (lower body strength test), primaryOutcomes measure: Physical fitness (upper body muscular endurance), primaryOutcomes measure: Physical fitness (aerobic capacity), primaryOutcomes measure: Bowling performance (Ball speed), primaryOutcomes measure: Bowling performance (run-up time), primaryOutcomes measure: Bowling performance (accuracy), primaryOutcomes measure: Bowling performance (RPE), secondaryOutcomes measure: Work capacity, secondaryOutcomes measure: Muscle Strength, secondaryOutcomes measure: Bone Density, eligibilityModule sex: MALE, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 25 Years, stdAges: ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Pakistan Sports Board Coaching Center, status: RECRUITING, city: Lahore, state: Punjab, zip: 54000, country: Pakistan, contacts name: Nasrullah Rana, role: CONTACT, phone: +92 334 5492964, contacts name: Muhammad Atif Javed, PP-DPT, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Syed Asadullah Arslan, Ph.D., role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 31.558, lon: 74.35071, hasResults: False
