This study aimed to compare body composition and anaerobic power among U19 male football and cricket players, providing insights into their performance and health implications. The study involved 60 participants, with 30 from each sport, and assessed variables such as body fat percentage, lean body mass, BMI, fat weight, and anaerobic power. The data collection methods were meticulous, including precise anthropometric measurements and the vertical jump test to estimate anaerobic power. The results indicated no significant differences in BMI, body fat percentage, lean body mass or fat weight between U19 male football and cricket players. Both groups demonstrated normal body composition values, likely influenced by their training regimens and genetic factors. However, a significant difference was observed in anaerobic power, with cricket players displaying higher levels. This difference could be attributed to the intermittent nature of football, which demands greater anaerobic power, whereas cricket places less reliance on this capacity, especially for spinners. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the physical attributes of young male athletes in football and cricket. While their body composition was similar, the disparity in anaerobic power highlights the importance of tailored training strategies for optimizing performance in these sports. These findings can benefit coaches and sports scientists in developing training programs for U19 male athletes in football and cricket.
