Abstract:
Yo-Yo intermittent tests are often used to assess physical fitness in a range of sports and scientific projects. The Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test, in particular, was a reliable indicator of fitness level in terms of total distance covered in meters, maximum oxygen consumption in VO2 Max, and levels achieved. The purpose of the research is to examine the aerobic endurance fitness of women cricket bowlers and batters using the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery test level 1. The capacity to perform intervals repeatedly over an extended length of time was measured in this study. A total of 60 female cricket players were chosen for this study. Out of these, 30 were bowlers, while the other 30 were batters. On these, the YYIRT 1 test was run. The test was carried out until the subject was able to do so, until the beep rang, or if the subject received two warning signals at once for failing to reach the endpoint. Total distance covered and VO2 max were evaluated as outcome measures to compare two groups of batters and bowlers according to their respective playing positions. This study demonstrated that there is a significant difference in performance, i.e., total distance covered, levels reached, and VO2 max, between batters and bowlers.
