Abstract

Review question/objective

Review question: which extrinsic and intrinsic factors are associated with non-contact injury in adult cricket pace bowlers?

Review objective: the objective of this review is to determine the extrinsic and intrinsic factors associated with non-contact injury in adult pace bowlers.

Inclusion criteria

Types of participants

This review will consider studies that include male cricket pace bowlers over the age of 18 years from all levels of play.

Types of intervention(s)/phenomena of interest

This review will consider studies evaluating the association between extrinsic and intrinsic factors, and lower quarter injury in pace bowlers. Intrinsic factors may include, but will not be limited to, muscle strength, flexibility, balance and biomechanics, while extrinsic factors may include bowling, but will not be limited to, workload, player position and time of play.

Types of outcomes

This review will consider studies that include any of the following outcome measures: non-contact injury. A non-contact injury is defined as an injury which is significant enough to cause an inability to fully or partially participate in training or matches and which was caused by an overuse mechanism rather than collision-type injuries.
