.Abstract
Background : Adolescent cricketers are at a high risk of sports injuries mainly because of the nature of the sport. A good rehabilitation program can ensure that one recuperates adequately, controls pain and improves the muscular strength. Sports physiotherapy, with its specific interventions, has been promising in addressing these needs, but evidence about its effectiveness is very limited in this age group. Methods : 40 teenage cricketers were selected for this study from the Jaipur Cricket Academies and placed into two groups-Group A, the control group receiving standard exercises and Group B, the experimental group receiving Sports Physiotherapy-Based Exercises. The levels of pain and strength of muscles were estimated through standard physical tests at the start and every week after commencement of rehabilitation. Statistical analysis was conducted on the quantitative data, while answers to qualitative questions were found through interviews with participants.
