“…Anecdotally, side strains have been one of the more recalcitrant muscle injuries suffered by fast bowlers and are predominately described in cricket fast bowlers. [25] The higher incidence of side strains in younger bowlers with a subsequent decline in incidence with age may reflect a relative weakness of the attachment of the abdominal muscles to the ribs in younger bowlers.…”

Background. Cricket fast bowlers have a high incidence of injury and have been the subject of previous research investigating the effects of previous injury, workload and technique. Bone stress injuries are of particular concern as they lead to prolonged absences from the game, with younger bowlers appearing to be at particular risk. Objectives. To investigate the variation in severity and incidence of injury to different tissue types in fast bowlers and ascertain whether age is a significant risk factor for these injuries. Methods. A retrospective analysis of match bowling exposure in 215 separate fast bowlers over a 14-year period was undertaken. This information was amalgamated with injury surveillance data providing information on the incidence, location, tissue type and severity of injury. Age of the bowler was determined and the bowlers were stratified into five age groups to determine the influence of age on the injury variables. Results. Younger bowlers (less than 22 years old) were 3.7-6.7 times more likely to suffer a bony injury than all the other age groups. Older bowlers (greater than 31 years old) were 2.2-2.7 times more likely to suffer a tendon injury than the 3 youngest groups.Conclusion. This study has demonstrated that younger age is a considerable risk factor in the development of bone stress injuries in cricket fast bowlers. In addition there appears to be a higher incidence of tendon injuries in older fast bowlers although this may be explained by the current classification system of joint impingement as a tendon injury.

“…The 3 baseball pitchers in our study all had injuries involving the anterolateral fibers of the internal oblique muscle inserting into the 11th rib, which is the most common site reported in other studies describing side strains in cricket bowlers. 2,5,11 These are the muscle fibers primarily responsible for lateral trunk flexion. In our cases, all muscle tears occurred on the side contralateral to the dominant arm, which is in agreement with similar studies.…”

Vigorous exercise is associated with improved quantity and quality of life. With vigorous exercise, however, comes the risk of injury. This article reviews the current highlights in our understanding of muscle injuries during various activities diagnosed by MRI. In particular, after general remarks on indirect ''strain'' muscle injuries, we focus on specific muscle injuries in the thigh (hamstrings and rectus femoris), chest wall region (pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, and teres major), and abdominal core (internal and external oblique muscles).
