SRI Lanka Cricket (SLC), in its ongoing efforts to enhance domestic cricket performance, provided local clubs with state-of-the-art performance-enhancing equipment, including skinfold callipers and Pocket Radars with smart displays.
A total of 17 clubs and the four Centres of Excellence of SLC received skinfold callipers, enabling trainers to assess players' body fat percentage by measuring subcutaneous fat thickness at specific body locations. This tool helps track fitness progress and assess body composition, ensuring players maintain peak physical condition for competitive cricket.
Additionally, clubs were provided with Pocket Radar devices that offer precise ball speed measurements and other performance metrics.
These tools are essential for both training and competitive analysis, allowing real-time performance monitoring.
