Background and Study Aim: The study investigates the effect of circuit training on the cardiorespiratory fitness of national-level female cricket players in Bangladesh. Thirty players were randomly selected from different playing positions (batters, bowlers, and all-rounders) and underwent a pre-and post-test design with no control group.
Material and Methods: The primary measure of cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed using the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level-1 (YYIRT1), where the total distance covered and VO2 max were recorded. The players participated in a circuit training program thrice weekly for four weeks. Significant improvements were observed in total distance covered and VO2Max across all player categories (batters, bowlers, and all-rounders).
Results: After the four-week circuit training program, significant within-group improvements were found in total distance covered and VO₂ max across all groups. Batters, bowlers, and all-rounders increased their total distance by 48.92%, 53.36%, and 30.51%, respectively (all p < 0.001). VO₂ max improved by 8.68%, 9.11%, and 5.00%, respectively (all p < 0.001). Significant time effects were observed for both total distance covered and VO₂ max (p < 0.001), with time × group interactions also significant (p ≤ 0.05). No significant group effects were found.
Conclusions: The study concludes that circuit training can effectively enhance the cardiorespiratory fitness of female cricket players, contributing to optimal performance in national-level competition. The findings support the integration of circuit training into regular fitness programs for female athletes, helping them meet the physical demands of cricket.
