Detailed Description

This study will be a randomized clinical trial duration of study will be 10 months.

Data will be collected by convenient sampling technique from Pakistan cricket board. Three outcome measures will be compared by using different tools strength is measured by seated medicine ball throw, stability is measured by CKCUEST and Coordination is measured by plate tapping test test .pre and post assessment is done Participants are divided into two groups group A undergoes variable resistance exercise , group B undergoes clubbel exercises observed values will be analyzed by using SPSS 27 software
