BCCI: Team India to undergo the Yo-Yo test

The BCCI has taken some key decisions regarding the fitness checks of players. The board have decided to use Dexa Scan and Yo Yo Test to test the fitness of cricketers.

What is Dexa Scan and Yo Yo test? What is their procedure? Let’s learn it.

[{"selector":"#anim-92ece68e-5fd0-4508-ba36-4adbc35a6680","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7b77f85e-ffb9-4dc5-9ed7-b1d61864f399","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 207.56844%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Dexa test is a process that allows medical professionals to assess a player's level of fitness by looking at metrics including fat percentage, muscular strength, water percentage, and bone strength.

[{"selector":"#anim-5de97e6a-c51f-4d22-8fac-6006f022f16d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e1ef0528-1217-4b3c-a0d0-b5f69df4fd2d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 137.95792%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Through this examination, the physicians may assess the athletes' body fat levels and determine how effective the training has been.

[{"selector":"#anim-664bd479-c768-4903-8a07-5c7f1b1b2ea2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e047a864-2c50-421e-9581-c78fd0f725ae","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 160.80493%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The body fat percentage of a cricket player should be under 10. It should be lowered if the number is between 10 and 12.

[{"selector":"#anim-2c77e42e-d962-4bf5-90ed-79c56db47973","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2258f827-636b-46fd-acef-39561c9b8008","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 160.80493%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Football players should have a fat percentage of between 5 - 8%. The body will gain more strength, power, speed, and agility if the percentage of body fat is low and the percentage of muscle strength is high.

[{"selector":"#anim-bd73bd1a-54d3-4d3b-b46d-9cd6c0d61fea","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c62e57e-764c-4070-a2ea-a63ceaf0195e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.97968%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Dexa scan test may be used to evaluate the general fitness of cricket players. The daily routine, food, and training regimen are all configurable for any cricket player using this dexa scan.

[{"selector":"#anim-d0141e8a-497e-4d1b-a890-3ee177bc4a1d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-028ddcc4-2670-4c4c-8eef-9867be0666fd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 151.75626%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The yo-yo test is also another technique used to gauge a player's level of fitness.

There are two targets (cones) set up at a 20-meter separation on either side. Between these two cones, players sprint. Prior to the buzzer, the other target must turn around.
