Bowling speed and accuracy are critical performance metrics in cricket. Despite their importance, the role of core strength in enhancing these aspects has received limited attention in sports science research. This study investigates the impact of a structured core-strengthening exercise regimen on bowling speed and accuracy among amateur cricket bowlers. A total of 30 participants were divided into intervention and control groups, with the intervention group undergoing an eight-week core-strengthening program. Measurements of bowling speed, accuracy, and core strength were taken before and after the intervention. The results showed significant improvements in both speed and accuracy for the intervention group, with no notable changes in the control group. These findings highlight the importance of core strengthening in cricket training and provide actionable insights for athletes and coaches to optimize performance. Additionally, this research underscores the necessity for targeted training programs that focus on enhancing biomechanical efficiency and muscular stability, which are essential for improving sports performance. By bridging the gap between theoretical benefits and practical outcomes, this study paves the way for evidence-based strategies in cricket coaching.
