R Ashwin<\/a> invited former strength and conditioning coach of the Indian men’s side, Soham Desai, on his channel to talk about fitness and its different aspects on his YouTube channel. They discussed on this issue of the different eras in fitness training in the men’s side and how it affected the players.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cIf we look back to 2010, Ramji Srinivasan was the trainer. That was, let\u2019s call it the MS Dhoni and Ramji Srinivasan era,\u201d Ashwin said on his channel, as quoted by ESPNCricinfo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBack then, we didn\u2019t do much strength training. We used to run a lot. When you talk about aerobic capacity, what is aerobic capacity? If you do two rounds of the ground, that\u2019s like a warm-up. Anything more than that, continuous running, is aerobic capacity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen came the Basu Shanker and Virat Kohli era, who focused more on power and strength. So we had Olympic snatches, cleans\u2014because of this, all the players benefited a lot for power production. After that, there was a phase where unilateral training came back as the Nick Webb and Soham Desai era came. Now, it\u2019s Adrian Le Roux\u2019s era.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ashwin pointed out how these different trainers meant different training regimes for the players, which is not only difficult to adjust to, but also increases the propensity of injuries to the players.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI used to always ask all the trainers this: when a trainer changes, the testing mechanism changes, the training schema changes,\u201d Ashwin remarked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a big problem for a player because, as players, we know the playing schema: how to play a back foot shot, or a front foot shot, how to bowl. But if the trainer keeps changing\u2014if Soham came today and his belief is in one training schema and he applies it to everyone\u2014it is virtually very, very difficult for the player.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn fact, in many cases, this could also lead to injuries. And it has. Because I went through a cycle from 2017 to 2019, I was searching for my training schema because I was constantly injured,\u201d Ashwin added.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The former Indian spinner highlighted the issues arising from regular changes in the strength and conditioning coaches in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":91698,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-91697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91697\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
