English and Australian cricket teams on tour used to travel by ship, and many enjoying shipboard life, reached their destination considerably overweight and thus unfit and vulnerable to injury in their sport. Now they travel by air and most national teams employ a fitness coach to supervise sessions of rigorous exercise before and during the season. However the international cricket season is longer than it was and the incidence of overuse injuries is increasing.
过去,巡回比赛的英格兰和澳大利亚板球队常常乘船出行,许多队员享受船上生活,抵达目的地时体重超标,因而身体不适,在比赛中容易受伤。如今他们乘飞机出行,大多数国家队还聘请了体能教练,在赛季前和赛季期间监督高强度的训练课程。然而,国际板球赛季比过去更长了,过度使用造成的伤病发生率也在上升。
