To evaluate the current evidence regarding the quantification of cricket fast-bowling skill.
Studies that assessed fast-bowling skill (bowling speed and accuracy) were identified from searches in SPORTDiscus (EBSCO) in June 2017. The reference lists of identified papers were also examined for relevant investigations.
A total of 16 papers matched the inclusion criteria, and discrepancies in assessment procedures were evident. Differences in test environment, pitch, and cricket ball characteristics; the warm-up prior to test; test familiarization procedures; permitted run-up lengths; bowling spell length; delivery sequence; test instructions; collection of bowling speed data; and collection and reportage of bowling accuracy data were apparent throughout the literature. The reliability and sensitivity of fast-bowling skill measures have rarely been reported across the literature. Only 1 study has attempted to assess the construct validity of its skill measures.
There are several discrepancies in how fast-bowling skill has been assessed and subsequently quantified in the literature to date. This is a problem, because comparisons between studies are often difficult. Therefore, a strong rationale exists for the creation of match-specific standardized fast-bowling assessments that offer greater ecological validity while maintaining acceptable reliability and sensitivity of the skill measures. If prospective research can act on the proposed recommendations from this review, then coaches will be able to make more informed decisions surrounding player selection, talent identification, return to skill following injury, and the efficacy of short- and long-term training interventions for fast bowlers.
评估目前关于板球快速投球技巧量化的证据。
2017 年 6 月，通过在 SPORTDiscus（EBSCO）中进行搜索，确定了评估快速投球技巧（投球速度和准确性）的研究。还查阅了已确定论文的参考文献列表，以寻找相关研究。
共有 16 篇论文符合纳入标准，但评估程序存在差异。测试环境、投球、板球特征的差异；测试前的热身；测试熟悉程序；允许的助跑长度；投球长度；投球顺序；测试说明；投球速度数据的收集；以及投球准确性数据的收集和报告在整个文献中都很明显。快速投球技巧测量的可靠性和敏感性在文献中很少有报道。只有 1 项研究试图评估其技能测量的结构有效性。
迄今为止，文献中快速投球技巧的评估和随后的量化存在多种差异。这是一个问题，因为通常很难对研究进行比较。因此，强烈需要创建特定比赛的标准化快速投球评估，这些评估在保持技能测量可接受的可靠性和敏感性的同时提供更高的生态有效性。如果前瞻性研究能够按照本综述提出的建议进行，那么教练将能够在球员选择、人才识别、受伤后的技能恢复以及短期和长期训练干预对快速投球手的效果方面做出更明智的决策。
