Results: The research in the field of exercise science has identified various biomarkers for assessing athlete’s health, performa nce, and recovery during training. However, there are biomarkers which changes in indi v dual’s participating in physical activity and exercise training programs. In the pre sent review an approach was to review the current literature of molecular science and det ermined a set of validated biomarkers of muscle status and recovery of athletes that could b e used by coaches and trainers. Conclusion: The present review will help sport scientists, coac hes, trainers, clinical sport professionals, researchers, and athletes to better understand how to monitor biomarkers of muscle status of athletes, as they design training cycles that elicit maximal improvements in performance while minimizing overtraining and injur y risk.

The design of this study required participants to perfo rm six sprints each of 35 meter. Materials & methods: There was one hundred fifty (N=150) trained male c ricketers between the ages of 15 and 25 years volunteered for this study. Anthropometric rod, Weighing machine were used. Results: The mean age, height, weight and BMI of cricketers were 17.77±2.663years, 171.19±7.526cm, 57.45±9.421Kg and 19.54±2.585kg/m . The mean sprint time of -1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th of cricketers were 5.209±.3907seconds, 5.361±.3906seco nds, 5.491±.399seconds, 5.619±.414seconds 5.737±.427 seconds and 5.885±.440 seconds respectiv ely.
