This study will be a randomized controlled trial in which 28 sample size will be taken. The participants will be allocated into control and experimental group. The sample will be taken from Pakistan Sports Board. Control group will follow their daily warm up activities. Interventional group will follow the physical readiness training. Physical readiness training in experimental group adding following exercises along with their conventional exercises. Bend and Reach:5 repetitions, Rear Lunge:5 repetitions per leg, High Jumper:5 repetitions, Rower:5 repetitions, Squat Bender:5 repetitions, Windmill:5 repetitions, Forward Lunge:5 repetitions per leg, Prone Row:5 repetitions, Bent-Leg Body Twist:5 repetitions per side, Push-Up:5 repetitions. And control group population will continue with their conventional exercises only. These exercises will continue for 4 weeks, 3 days per week. Speed (shuttle run test), Power (vertical jump test), Balance (star excretion test). Comparison of two groups control and interventional be done by applying independent sample t-test and p-value \< 0.05 will be taken as significance.
