The Science of fast bowling fitness
Certification Course
Course
“The primary objective of this certification course is to provide evidence-based information in physical preparation for fast bowlers. The information provided in this course will be useful for young and elite fast bowlers, cricket coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, fitness trainers and physical therapists working with fast bowlers. This course has been carefully created based on current research and years of working with young and elite fast bowlers. There will also be practical takeaways that the attendees will find valuable.
Moreover, we want to bridge the gap between research and practice in fast bowling science that is currently missing”
