“…Mean warm-up is 20±5.5 minutes, which is adequate as per Soomro et al 6 But we observed that the quality of training is not adequate and needs to be addressed. A posttraining cool-down is not being followed properly in the academies we studied.…”

“…Soomro et al says CIPP as pretraining warm-up and post-training cool-down will result in significant reductions in Injury rates compared to the control group. 6 The average months of training in a year is 10.9±1.2 which is more than that observed in study by Noorbhai et al i.e. 7.6±2.7.…”

“…These programmes reduce injury risk by improving neuromuscular strength, agility and limb coordination with a combination of strength, plyometric and balance exercises. 6 Musculoskeletal pain can occur in various ways while playing cricket: a direct hit by a ball or bat, rapid rotational movements (twisting), fielding, sliding and diving and collisions with other players. 1,[7][8][9] Apart from above, overuse can lead to musculoskeletal pain.…”

Prevalence of cricket-related musculoskeletal pain among Indian junior club cricketers

et al. 2020

Background: Cricket is the most commonly played sport in India. The number of children playing cricket are increasing. There is growing evidence that injury rates in junior cricketers are higher than professional cricketers. In India at the community level, there are no standardized specific cricket injury prevention programmes (CIPP) which reduce injury risk. Minimal data is available from Asian countries, especially on junior cricketers. Our study is an attempt to focus on junior club cricketer injuries, plan safety precautions and emphasize role of CIPP.Methods: It was an observational study conducted on male junior club cricketers in the age group of 8-16 years. Based on a self-reported questionnaire, player’s physical status, training, injuries and their nature are assessed over a period of 12 months.Results: Over the study period 36 of 50 cricketers were symptomatic. The lower limb is the most frequently injured. Most common etiology is overuse. We found that the players are not following pre-training warm-up and post-training cool-down.Conclusions: CIPP should be implemented and strictly followed from the early stages of sports life. Pre-training warm-up and post-training cool-down should be included in their routine training. Overuse i.e. playing overtime and ignoring the pain during practice or match should be avoided. A supervised training and regular screening of players by orthopaedician or sports physician will keep them fit to play with full potential.

“…It is a common perception that cricket is a nonimpact sport associated with fewer injuries than other sports. However, the literature shows that when injuries are measured in terms of injury rates (ie, per hour of athletic exposure), junior and amateur cricketers have higher rates of injury than professional cricketers [38], and injury rates are comparable to other noncontact or quasi-contact team sports such as soccer, basketball, and tennis [39]. In recent times, the use of mHealth and Web-based technology to monitor an athlete’s health is becoming an important component of sports medicine [5].…”

BackgroundInjury surveillance and workload monitoring are important aspects of professional sports, including cricket. However, at the community level, there is a dearth of accessible and intelligent surveillance tools. Mobile apps are an accessible tool for monitoring cricket-related injuries at all levels.ObjectiveThe objective of this paper is to share the novel methods associated with the development of the free TeamDoc app and provide evidence from an evaluation of the user experience and perception of the app regarding its functionality, utility, and design.MethodsTeamDoc mobile app for Android and Apple smartphones was developed using 3 languages: C++, Qt Modeling Language, and JavaScript. For the server-side connectivity, Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) was used as it is a commonly used cross-platform language. PHP includes components that interact with popular database management systems, allowing for secure interaction with databases on a server level. The app was evaluated by administrating a modified user version of the Mobile App Rating Scale (uMARS; maximum score: 5).ResultsTeamDoc is the first complementary, standalone mobile app that records cricket injuries through a smartphone. It can also record cricketing workloads, which is a known risk factor for injury. The app can be used without the need for supplementary computer devices for synchronization. The uMARS scores showed user satisfaction (overall mean score 3.6 [SD 0.5]), which demonstrates its acceptability by cricketers.ConclusionsElectronic injury surveillance systems have been shown to improve data collection during competitive sports. Therefore, TeamDoc may assist in improving injury reporting and may also act as a monitoring system for coaching staff to adjust individual training workloads. The methods described in this paper provide a template for researchers to develop similar apps for other sports.

“…Consequently, medical experts and physiotherapists recommend slow and progressive loading of the MSK system to reduce the risk of avulsion or overuse type injuries. 19,20 A similar approach has been used in cricket where Australian and English & Wales Cricket Boards have age-specific fast bowler workload guidelines 21,22 that are a part of the coach training programmes and are taken as standard to monitor the training of junior fast bowlers. However, there is a lack of published data on adherence to bowling workload guidelines in community cricket.…”

Fast bowlers have the highest injury rates in cricket; therefore, reducing these injuries is a priority for coaches and the support staff. Improving physical conditioning and monitoring bowling workload are primary preventative strategies to reduce overuse injuries. The objective of this study was to investigate practices of cricket coaches in Australia on (1) strength and conditioning and (2) bowling workload management of junior and non-elite fast bowlers. A web-based survey was sent to 548 male Level Two cricket coaches registered with Cricket New South Wales, Australia. One hundred and seventy (31%) coaches responded to the survey. A majority (70%) of the coaches were working with cricketers under the age of 19 years. Only 39 (23%) engaged fast bowlers in resistance training exercises. Coaches under the age of 40 years were more likely to prescribe resistance training (v 2 ¼ 5.77, df ¼ 1, p ¼ 0.016) than coaches over the age of 40. Lower back, abdominal and gluteal muscles were the most commonly targeted muscle groups. Sit-ups, core work and squats were the most common exercises prescribed. Most (92%) coaches were aware of current national fast bowling workload recommendations. However, only 18 (13%) coaches prescribed the currently recommended workloads. The results indicate that coaches training junior and sub-elite cricketers need more awareness on of the importance of engaging fast bowlers in resistance training and monitoring bowling workloads. Understanding current training practices of coaches can assist in the development of injury prevention programmes for junior fast bowlers and educational programmes for coaches.
