Bowling action is a highly skilled activity acquired over the year. A bowler needs speed and strength to challenge the batsman but the conventional protocols they follow for the speed and strength are not specific to their bowling actions. Bowling can result in different types of upper extremity injuries, such as rotator cuff sprains, impingement and stress fractures. There are many injury prevention programs such as electrostimulation training, resistance training, and plyometric training that can be used to treat upper limb injuries and improve maximal strength.~Plyometric training can be done by overhead athletes to improve the effectiveness of throwing activity and to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles to prevent shoulder injury from overhead throwing activity.~This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of upper limb plyometric exercises on speed, strength and injury prevention in comparison with conventional exercises.
To compare the effects of upper body plyometric versus conventional exercises on speed, strength, and injury prevention in bowlers
