A fast bowler needs to have strong core muscles in order to prevent side strain, which can hider the performance. Variation in deliveries , bowling speed and bowling action can be compromised due to side strain injuries specifically in fast bowlers. A strong and stable core helps to maintain balance and provide strength while performing repetitive movements such as bowling. Core strengthening program should include exercises that are sports specific, conditioning exercises that focus on anterior and posterior musculature of the trunk and hip. The aim of this study is to find out the prevalence of side strain in fast bowlers and to incorporate strengthening exercises for core muscles to evaluate its effectiveness for side strain.
