Brief summary: This study will be a randomized clinical trial will be conducted in Ayub national park cricket club Sample size will be 48 to evaluate the effects of Pilates and Burpees exercises training among cricket players with an age range of 16-24 years. Non probability convenient sampling technique would be used. Participants will be randomly assigned to 2 groups. Group A will include participants who received Pilates exercises training (6 weeks) along with the warm up. Group B participant who will receive burpees exercise training (6 weeks) and warm up. Outcomes of both trainings are the effects on core strengthening and dynamic balance on players in A group and the B group. Post interventional assessment was done via Star excursion balance test, prone bridge test and 1 minute sit-up test. Data will be collected at baseline and 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 25

Detailed description: Cricket is a most popular sport played throughout the world. It is played in three common formats depending on the duration of the game, firstly a Test match is played over 4-5 day's with around 90 overs per day Secondly One day match is shorter with 50 over on each side and the Last one is T-Twenty match much shorter with 20 over on each side. As each format places different physical demands on the players the require an extensive combination of tactics, skills and physical fitness in the form of strength, flexibility and balance. In our study we can focus on the basic core strengthening which is essential for physical fitness and better performance in the game. Primary the aim of this study is to evaluate the comparative effects of Pilates and Burpees exercises of core strengthening and dynamic stability of body in young cricket players
