ABSTRACT
This study examines the impact of training intensity on physical fitness attributes in university and state-level cricket players. Cricket demands a combination of strength, endurance, agility, and flexibility, which are influenced by the intensity and structure of training regimens. The research compares the fitness attributes of university-level and state-level players, analyzing the effects of different training intensities on parameters such as aerobic capacity, muscular strength, speed, and agility. A sample of players from both levels underwent fitness assessments, and their training routines were analyzed to determine correlations between training intensity and performance outcomes. The findings suggest that higher training intensity is associated with superior fitness attributes, particularly in state-level players, who exhibited greater aerobic endurance, strength, and agility. The study highlights the importance of structured, high-intensity training programs for enhancing cricket performance and provides insights for coaches and sports scientists in designing effective training regimens.
Keywords: Training intensity, physical fitness, cricket players, endurance, agility, strength, university-level, state-level.
