Abstract

In present era now it is quite clearly proved that Trataka plays a great importance in normal peoples’ life as well There are a lot of hobbies and sports where contributions are crucial to improving performance. It was in the sixteenth century when schoolboys in Guildford first recorded playing cricket, suggesting that the game has its roots in that era. The first known mention of cricket is in an Italian-English lexicon. This study set out to answer the question, "How does Trataka affect the healt-related and skill-related physical fitness factors of cricketers?" by looking at batting average, reaction time, and resting heart rate, three measures of physical fitness. The participants in the research were young adults (ages 15–18) from a single cricket academy in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. Forty male cricket players served as the study's subjects; they were separated into an experimental group and a control group at random. We used a "t" test to compare the control group's with the experimental group's health and skill-related fitness data. The chosen p-value for significance was 0.05. The experimental group's health and skill-related physical fitness levels changed significantly between the beginning and end points of the six-week Trataka training program. The resulting "t" ratios for batting average, reaction time, and resting heart rate were 4.60, 3.24, and 2.90, respectively. Despite the computed "t" value being 2.02, the obtained "t" ratio in each of the three instances was higher. With 38 degrees of freedom, we determined that the three outcomes indicated above were significantly different at the 0.05 level of significance. According to the data in the table, the control group's health and skill-related physical fitness scores did not change significantly between the beginning and end of the study. A look at the "t" figures for batting average, reaction time, and resting heart rate reveals this to be the case. At the.05 level of significance and 38 degrees of freedom, these results were all below the necessary tabulated "t" value of 2.02.
