“…Pace -Bowlers requires a strong back to overcome the force that they generate on their back muscles at the time of the delivery. The Pace -Bowlers must absorb vertical and horizontal components of the ground reaction force that are approximately five and two times body weight at frontfoot and rear-foot impact respectively, thus, assessment of back strength is essential (18,19) .…”

Background:This study was undertaken to develop a discriminant model for classifying cricketers based on selected anthropometric and physical variables.Methods: The sample was composed of 140 male cricketers (age: 24 ± 3.2) classified in two different groups (i.e. Batsmen n = 70 & Pace -Bowlers n = 70). A total of twelve variables (5 Anthropometric & 7 Physical Variables) were selected for the study.Results:The developed discriminant model for Batsmen & Pace -Bowlers have high log determinants. The developed discriminant function explains 53.14 % of the variation in the dependent variable by the discriminant model. The classification matrices developed by the model shows that overall 82.1 % of samples were correctly classified. Conclusion:The findings from this study indicate that pacebowlers were found to be taller, have higher shoulder explosive strength and back strength than batsmen. Pacebowlers require a higher level of fitness than batsmen. The effort that they put on a single delivery requires a higher level of strength in shoulder, leg and back muscles. Left-hand grip strength was much higher in batsmen than pacebowlers; this may be due to the nature of the game as the top hand (left hand) is more dominating in batting (especially in vertical grounded strokes) than the bottom hand (right hand).

Context: Athletes have routine activity programs, and better physical health is expected among them. There is limited information about the connection between athletes' injuries during sports activity and their future health status. Objectives: The prevalence of spine changes related to sports activities and what risk factors were associated with these events in athletes. Method: SCOPUS, EMBASE, and Web of Science were used for article searching. Results: Sports injuries in sports happen frequently. Our data is limited to introducing sports with the highest risk of injury. A history of sports injury, an intense training program, and years of sports activities are factors predicting injury. It has been seen that former top male athletes have more activity than age-matched control individuals. Conclusions: Spinal injury management in athletes needs a proper diagnosis, work-up, and complex rehabilitation plans; otherwise, it can lead to spinal complaints in the future. Rest, appropriate analgesia, and rehabilitation are the three main primary treatments. The usage of orthoses is not recommended for these injuries in general.

“…Whether this lack of predictive insight is related to yet to be identified independent variables, heterogeneity of participant populations [ 16 ] or diversity of research methodologies [ 30 ] requires further exploration. For example, a recent systematic review reported minimal strength in reported associations between lower back injury and fast bowling workload metrics due to biases within injury and workload measurements in the existent literature [ 32 ]. Furthermore, the use of causal inference to classify markers of risk as causal or non-causal may be required, since interventions to prevent injury should be targeted at established causal associations [ 33 ].…”

Background Lumbar spine injuries in fast bowlers account for the greatest missed playing time in cricket. A range of extrinsic and intrinsic variables are hypothesised to be associated with low back pain and lumbar spine injury in fast bowlers, and an improved understanding of intrinsic variables is necessary as these may alter load tolerance and injury risk associated with fast bowling. This review critically evaluated studies reporting intrinsic variables associated with low back pain and lumbar spine injury in fast bowlers and identified areas for future investigation. Methods OVID Medline, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, Web of Science and SCOPUS databases were last searched on 3 June 2022 to identify studies investigating intrinsic variables associated with low back pain and lumbar spine injury in cricket fast bowlers. Terms relevant to cricket fast bowling, and intrinsic variables associated with lumbar spine injury and low back pain in fast bowlers were searched. 1,503 abstracts were screened, and 118 full‐text articles were appraised to determine whether they met inclusion criteria. Two authors independently screened search results and assessed risk of bias using a modified version of the Quality in Prognostic Studies tool. Results Twenty-five studies met the inclusion criteria. Overall, no included studies demonstrated a low risk of bias, two studies were identified as moderate risk, and twenty-three studies were identified as high risk. Conflicting results were reported amongst studies investigating associations of fast bowling kinematics and kinetics, trunk and lumbar anatomical features, anthropometric traits, age, and neuromuscular characteristics with low back pain and lumbar spine injury. Conclusion Inconsistencies in results may be related to differences in study design, injury definitions, participant characteristics, measurement parameters, and statistical analyses. Low back pain and lumbar spine injury occurrence in fast bowlers remain high, and this may be due to an absence of low bias studies that have informed recommendations for their prevention. Future research should employ clearly defined injury outcomes, analyse continuous datasets, utilise models that better represent lumbar kinematics and kinetics during fast bowling, and better quantify previous injury, lumbar anatomical features and lumbar maturation.
