Cricket Conditioning Programme Design, Case 2

This lecture explains how to design a sports-specific cricket conditioning program using the Fitness Training Design Framework and the HIIT conditioning model. Using a case study of a club-level fast bowler preparing for a tournament in six weeks, the lecture demonstrates how to analyze fitness data, exercise history, and sport demands to identify key performance gaps. The program focuses on improving anaerobic capacity and peak power through repeated sprint training while maintaining aerobic conditioning so the bowler can sustain high-intensity performance for longer bowling spells. The session also shows how to apply sequential periodization, training blocks, and progression of intensity and volume to maximize performance while managing fatigue as competition approaches.
