Introduction[edit | edit source]
Cricket is played in many countries all over the world. It is a sport played by males and in recent years females, of all ages. Injury prevalence in cricket ranges from 4% to 12.8%. (Frost and Chalmers). The incidence of injury is determined at 23.5 to 90 injuries per 10 000 hours of exposure (Orchard et al 2016). Cricketers mainly sustain non-contact injuries to the lumbar spine (1.1 - 3.4 injuries per squad per season) and the lower limb (0.3 - 5.9 injuries per squad per season (Orchard, 2006).
In recent years, injury prevention programmes have been designed with the aim of modifying risk factors in order to prevent injury (Bahr 2016). Injury prevention research is systematically approached by following six stages:Finch 2006
- Injury surveillance
- Determine aetiology and mechanisms of injury
- Development of injury prevention measures
- Scientific evaluation (intervention efficacy assessment under "ideal conditions")
- Describe the intervention context to inform implementation strategies
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the preventative measures in the implementation context
