“…This could be the reason why no differences were found between the high-intensity movements in the training and the ODG. These findings are in line with those reported in previous research [17] showing that fast bowlers consistently performed at greater intensities than the other sub-disciplines.…”

Cricket is a multifaceted, highly technical sport, and coaches tend to focus on the improvement of individual skills during the training sessions while little attention is given to the physical demands of the game. However, the sport has evolved over the last few decades and the physical demands in the game have risen considerably, with a clustering of fixtures and many more competitions being played. [1] This has compelled coaches to focus more on the physical demands of the game.

“…The discrepant reports may be related to methodological differences between studies, with inconsistencies in the time taken between exercise cessation and testing, changes in the load placed on the individual and, importantly, differences in the modes of exercise under investigation. Of interest, the insensitivity of jump height to training and matches in our study supports the only other paper investigating neuromuscular fatigue in cricket 4 .…”

“…Research in cricket has typically reported external measures of workload (i.e. training doses) from global positioning system (GPS) tracking 1 , time motion analysis (TMA) 2 , number of overs bowled [3][4][5] whilst internal loads have been quantified using subjective measures, such as perception of effort 6 .…”

Purpose: First, to assess changes in neuromuscular function via alterations in countermovement-jump strategy after training and 2 forms of competition and second, to compare the relationship between workloads and fatigue in seam bowlers and nonseam bowlers. Methods: Twenty-two professional cricketers’ neuromuscular function was assessed at baseline, immediately post and +24 h posttraining, and after multiday and 1-day cricket events. In addition, perceptual (rating of perceived exertion [RPE] and soreness) measures and external loads (PlayerLoad™, number of sprints, total distance, and overs) were monitored across all formats. Results: Seam bowlers covered more distance, completed more sprints, and had a higher RPE in training (P < .05), without any difference in soreness compared with nonseam bowlers. Compared with seam bowlers, the nonseam bowlers’ peak force decreased post-24 h compared with baseline only in 1-d cricket (95% CI, 2.1–110.0 N; P < .04). There were no pre–post training or match differences in jump height or alterations in jump strategy (P > .05). Seam bowlers increased their peak jumping force from baseline to immediately posttraining or game (95% CI, 28.8–132.4 N; P < .01) but decreased between postcricket to +24 h (95% CI, 48.89–148.0 N; P < .001). Conclusion: Seam bowlers were more accustomed to high workloads than nonseamers and thus more fatigue resistant. Changes in jump height or strategy do not appear to be effective methods of assessing fatigue in professional crickets. More common metrics such as peak force are more sensitive.

“…Moreover, with the irruption of new more accessible technology and software, the use of methods to control and quantify the TL have been spread in different sports [3][4][5]. Furthermore, beyond the improvement of performance perspective, the quantification of the TL can prevent from suffering non-functional overreaching, injuries or illnesses avoiding workload spikes [6][7][8].…”

The necessity of measuring all the variables related to training process to understand the improvement of the athlete´s performance, has made the quantification of training load (TL) and the study of its relationship with performance raise interest among the scientific community and coaches [1,2]. Moreover, with the irruption of new more accessible technology and software, the use of methods to control and quantify the TL have been spread in different sports [3][4][5]. Furthermore, beyond the improvement of performance perspective, the quantification of the TL can prevent from suffering non-functional overreaching, injuries or illnesses avoiding workload spikes [6][7][8].For quantifying the TL there are different variables which can be categorized as either external (watts, speed, etc.) or internal (physiological and psychological). Traditionally, in endurance sports some internal variables have been used to quantify the TL such as heart rate [9-11], blood lactate and Ratings of Perceived Exertion [12,13]. One of the main reasons for that might be based on the necessity of distinguishing and measuring in an individual way the biological stress imposed by a training session in each athlete. The lack of capacity for measuring the internal work with external training quantification methods makes it impossible to compare the different responses of the athletes in a given training session [12]. In last decades several quantifying training proposals based on training zones have emerged as useful methods for monitoring the TL in endurance sports [2,10,11,14,15]. By means of these different methods, it is possible to compare intra-inter athletes' TL and the relationship between TL and performance. More recently, it has been confirmed the capacity of comparing different endurance sports by an objective method such as the Cejuela-Anta & EsteveLanao´s [10] ECO system [16].
