Pilates Training (PT), Star Excursion Balance Training (SEBT), Agility T Test (ATT), Young Cricketers.

BACK GROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Agility is the ability to move and change direction and position of the body quickly and effectively while under control. This is an important component of many sports training sessions. Improved agility means better performance, faster response and gives edge over their competition. Stability is achieved through the co-activation of trunk muscles; therefore, Pilates training has been postulated to be beneficial in training trunk muscles to provide agility. To compare the effectiveness of Star Excursion Balance Training versus Pilates Training for improving agility in young cricketers. METHODS: Randomized control trial. In this study, 250 subjects out of 232 were screened between the age group of above 18 years and were randomly allocated into two groups. Each group containing 116 subjects. Group-A received Star Excursion Balance Training and Group received Pilates Training. Participants received 3 session per week for 6 weeks. The outcome measures of this intervention were measured by agility T test. RESULTS: Independent t-test was used to compare the mean significance difference between continuous variables. Paired t-test was used to assess the statistical difference between pre-test and post-test scores p value of (0.001). Statistical analysis of the data revealed that within the group comparison, both groups showed significant improvement in all parameters. Whereas, in between the group’s comparison Pilates training group showed better improvement. CONCLUSION: The present study concluded that 6 weeks program of Star Excursion Balance Training and Pilates Training were shown to be statistically significant in improving Agility in cricket players. However, Pilates Training was shown more effective in improving Agility than Star Excursion Balance Training in Young Cricketers.
