Handwriting is an important functional task that needs to be performed by children in lower grades of elementary school, and it is an essential ability for academic achievements. To evaluate the ability of handwriting performance in children, various dimensions must be considered including the domain of handwriting, legibility, speed, and ergonomic factors. During the process of handwriting, most of the movements come from the forearm while the shoulder provides the power with minimum movement occurring at fingers and wrist. Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to do repeated contractions against a less-than-maximum resistance for a given period. Fatigue of the Proximal muscles has been reportedly affected the coordination of Distal muscles. This study studies the correlation between scapular muscle endurance and handwriting legibility in school children. Method: In this study, 70 samples were collected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The test was explained to them and their parents in detail and ascent. Handwriting legibility was assessed using a handwriting legibility scale. Scapular muscle endurance was assessed using the Scapular muscle endurance test. Data was collected and analyzed. Results: The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between scapular muscle endurance and handwriting legibility. The statistical analysis showed that the correlation coefficient (r=0.5) which states that there is a moderately positive correlation. The p-value was <0.0001 which is considered extremely significant. Conclusion:This study concludes that there is a positive correlation between scapular muscle endurance and handwriting legibility.
Cricket necessitates intermittent activities, which include high intensity sprinting. Stop and go nature of the sprinting between the wickets puts stress on the cricketers. Batting requires the ability to run between the wickets effectively to increase the scoring rate. RSA is the capability of an athlete to recover & maintain highest possible efforts during subsequent sprinting. Which is important in team sport. It is frequently trained & calculated via high-intensity sprint, interspersed with brief recovery bouts (<=30sec). Sprint interval training works on developing metabolic or neuromuscular system or both. This research studies the effect of sprint interval training on repeated sprint ability and lower limb power in cricket batsmen. Method: In this study 34 samples were collected according to the inclusion and the exclusion criteria. They were divided into two groups odd and even basis. Exercise protocol was administered to group A for 4 weeks, alternate days in each week and group B continued with their regular training. Pre and post data was collected using Repeated Sprint Ability test and Standing Long Jump test. Results: After 4 weeks Results showed that in group A Sprint Interval Training has significant effect of Repeated Sprint Ability (Difference 6.193 to 5.186, t = 5.085, P value is 0.000) and Standing long jump (Difference 228.18 to 234.06, t = 9.017, P value is < 0.0001). After 4 weeks conventional exercise in group B didn't show enough significant effect on Repeated Sprint Ability (Difference 6.855 to 6.549, t = 0.5741, P value is 0.5739) conventional exercises showed significant effect on Standing Long Jump test (Difference 197.53 to 199.29, t = 3.017, P value is 0.0082). Comparing group A and group B, results showed that Sprint interval Training had significant improvements in improving the Repeated Sprint Ability (Difference 5.183 and 6.549, t = 3.061, P value is 0.0044) and Standing Long Jump test (Difference 234.06 and 199.29, t = 4.007, P value is 0.0003) than conventional exercises. Conclusion:This study concludes that Sprint Interval Training is more effective than conventional exercises in improving the repeated sprint ability and lower limb power in amateur cricket batsmen by the end of 4 weeks.
