Effect of Pilates Core Stabilization in Adjunct With Plyometric Shoulder Training on Low Back Pain in Fast Bowlers(RCT)

This RCT will seek to determine both the Pilates core stabilization and plyometric shoulder training on LBP in fast bowlers. The research problem will emphasize the absence of detailed rehabilitation protocols that address the upper and lower limb strength dysfunction, pain, quality of life, and biomechanics of fast bowlers. Prior literature has not examined the combined use of these two training interventions to address LBP, which affects the performance of fast bowlers. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. Group A (experimental) will receive Pilates core stabilization and plyometric shoulder training, while Group B (control) will receive conventional physiotherapy for LBP. There will be two sessions per week for six weeks, and the intensity of the exercises will gradually increase to address athletes' strength, flexibility, and movement control.
