Summarising and synthesising the evidence on cricket health and wellbeing can help inform cricket stakeholders and navigate future research directions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cricket participation, health and wellbeing at all ages and playing standards, and identify research gaps in the existing literature. A scoping review was performed from inception to March, 2020. Studies were included if they assessed a construct related to health and/or wellbeing in cricketers, available in English. 219 articles were eligible. Injury incidence per 1,000 player exposures ranged from 1.8-5.7 injuries. 48% of former cricketers experienced persistent joint pain. However, former cricketers reported greater physical activity levels and mental-components of quality of life compared to the general population. Heat injury/illness and skin cancer are concerns and require further research. Cricket participation is associated with an inherent injury risk, which may have negative implications for musculoskeletal health in later life. However, cricket participation is associated with high quality of life which can persist after retirement. Gaps in the literature include prospective studies on health and wellbeing of cricketers, female cricketers, injury prevention strategies, and the impact of cricket participation on metabolic health and lifetime physical activity.
总结和综合有关板球健康和福利的证据可以帮助告知板球利益相关者并指导未来的研究方向。本研究的目的是调查板球参与度、各年龄段和不同水平球员的健康和福利之间的关系，并确定现有文献中的研究空白。从开始到 2020 年 3 月进行了范围综述。如果研究评估了与板球运动员健康和/或福利相关的结构，且可用英文获取，那么这些研究就符合入选标准。有 219 篇文章符合条件。每 1000 名球员暴露于风险的损伤发生率为 1.8-5.7 例。48%的前板球运动员经历了持续的关节疼痛。然而，与普通人群相比，前板球运动员报告了更高的身体活动水平和精神生活质量。热损伤/疾病和皮肤癌是需要关注的问题，需要进一步研究。板球参与本身存在受伤风险，这可能对晚年的骨骼肌肉健康产生负面影响。然而，板球参与与高生活质量相关，这种高质量的生活可以在退休后持续存在。文献中的空白包括关于板球运动员健康和福利、女性板球运动员、损伤预防策略以及板球参与对代谢健康和终生身体活动影响的前瞻性研究。
