Cricket is distinctly positioned in the world of elite sports because three different formats now exist, each with characteristically different workload requirements. Fast bowlers have greater match-play workload requirements and are at greater injury risk than other positions. An update on the current cricket literature regarding fast bowling match-play physiology, workload, and injury is required to demonstrate the extent to which workload is related to performance and injury in elite fast bowlers since the introduction of 20-over cricket in 2005.
The current review examined articles published in English with data collected from 2005 onwards pertaining to in situ cricket fast bowling physiology, match play, injury, and workload. Four databases were searched using the combinations of the following keywords: 'cricket' and 'bowl', inclusive of 'pace', 'fast', 'medium', or 'seam' bowling. Articles from 2005 onwards with male participants, high-performing or elite, and fast bowlers in the game of cricket were considered for inclusion. Only workload assessments captured in a field setting were included.
A total of 751 articles were identified. Exclusions included 527 duplicates, papers pre-2005, review articles, and abstracts. A further 185 articles were excluded after review of titles and abstracts that were deemed to be outside the scope of research or population. The full texts of 39 articles were reviewed, with only 17 included in this systematic review. In five articles reviewed, fast bowlers had a greater workload than other player types. Bowling workload history was reviewed in seven articles and appeared to have a complex interaction with likelihood of injury and injury type.
Fast bowling workload has a well recognised relationship with injury and performance. Although monitoring acute and chronic workloads of fast bowlers remains the most ideal method for identifying preparedness and injury likelihood in fast bowlers, complexities exist that make the systematic prescription of bowling workloads difficult. Advances in technology to monitor workloads may provide further insight into the intensity and workloads of fast bowlers. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42015032466.
板球在精英运动领域中独具特色，因为现在有三种不同的比赛形式，每种形式都有其独特的比赛负荷要求。快速投球手的比赛负荷要求更高，受伤风险也比其他位置更大。自 2005 年引入 20 回合板球比赛以来，需要更新当前关于快速投球比赛生理学、比赛负荷和受伤的板球文献，以展示在引入 20 回合板球比赛以来，比赛负荷与精英快速投球手的表现和受伤之间的关系程度。
本次综述审查了以英语发表的文章，数据来自 2005 年以后与板球原位快速投球生理学、比赛、受伤和比赛负荷有关的文章。使用以下关键词的组合在四个数据库中进行搜索：“板球”和“投球”，包括“速度”、“快速”、“中速”或“旋转”投球。纳入的文章为有男性参与者、表现出色或为精英选手、且从事板球运动的快速投球手的研究。只纳入在现场环境中采集的比赛负荷评估数据。
共确定了 751 篇文章。排除了 527 篇重复文章、2005 年以前的文章、综述文章和摘要。在审查标题和摘要后，又排除了 185 篇被认为不在研究范围或研究人群之外的文章。对 39 篇文章的全文进行了审查，只有 17 篇被纳入本系统综述。在审查的五篇文章中，快速投球手的比赛负荷比其他球员类型更大。有七篇文章回顾了投球比赛负荷历史，似乎与受伤和受伤类型有复杂的相互作用。
快速投球比赛负荷与受伤和表现有明确的关系。尽管监测快速投球手的急性和慢性比赛负荷仍然是识别快速投球手准备情况和受伤可能性的最理想方法，但存在复杂性，使得系统地规定投球比赛负荷变得困难。监测比赛负荷的技术进步可能会进一步深入了解快速投球手的强度和比赛负荷。PROSPERO 注册号：CRD42015032466。
