The goal of this study is to investigate the acute effects of cricket fast bowling on the bone turnover and signaling markers in healthy young males. The main question aims to answer: • Does a single bout acute fast bowling change serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I) and other bone turnover and signaling markers levels? Participants complete both the bowling and control trials, with a minimum washout period of one week between trials. During each trial, blood samples are collected at three time points: pre-, immediately post, and 2-hour post bowling/rest.

Serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I) concentration
Timeframe: Blood samples are collected at baseline, immediately after the bowling or the corresponding rest period, and 2 hours after the second blood sample collection.
