Abstract

The ability of a pace bowler to deliver the cricket ball at faster speeds is linked with improved match performance as they require less deliveries to take a wicket and concede less runs per wicket taken. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between ball release speed and selected pace bowling kinematics in 19 elite female pace bowlers. Participants bowled 18 match-intensity deliveries indoors from a full run-up. Peak ball release speed and three-dimensional pace bowling kinematic data were extracted from six deliveries that met specific selection criteria. Linear and non-linear relationships were assessed between ball release speed and selected pace bowling kinematics. Ball release speed was associated linearly with pelvis orientation at back foot contact ( r2 = 0.34, p = 0.048) and non-linearly with thoraco-pelvic lateral flexion at front foot flat ( r2 = 0.69, p < 0.001). Compared to their slower counterparts, faster elite female pace bowlers were more side-on at back foot contact and more upright in the frontal plane at front foot flat. A side-on pelvis orientation at back foot landing is likely to permit greater whole-body angular momentum in the transverse plane of motion. A more upright trunk orientation at front foot flat may be indicative of delayed onset of trunk flexion and representative of optimal segmental sequencing to maximise ball release speed. This knowledge is likely to be useful in the coaching and development of female pace bowlers for the purposes of enhancing ball release speed and therefore match performance.

板球女精英速度保龄球运动员释放球速度的运动学关系

速度型保龄球运动员以更快的速度投出板球的能力与比赛成绩的提高息息相关，因为她们只需要更少的投球就能拿下一个小门，而且每个小门的失分也更少。本研究旨在探讨 19 名精英女子速度型保龄球运动员的击球速度与所选速度型保龄球运动学之间的关系。参与者在室内以全速跑动的方式进行了 18 次比赛强度的保送。从符合特定选择标准的六次发球中提取了峰值球释放速度和三维步伐保龄球运动学数据。评估了发球速度与所选步伐保龄球运动学之间的线性和非线性关系。发球速度与后脚接触时的骨盆方向呈线性关系（r2 = 0.34，p = 0.048），与前脚平放时的胸椎骨盆侧屈呈非线性关系（r2 = 0.69，p < 0.001）。与速度较慢的精英女子保龄球运动员相比，速度较快的精英女子保龄球运动员在后脚接触时更倾向于侧向，而在前脚平放时则更倾向于正面直立。后脚着地时骨盆侧向，可能会使横向运动平面上的全身角动量更大。前脚平放时更直立的躯干方向可能表明躯干屈曲的开始时间推迟，并代表了最佳的分节排序，以最大限度地提高球的释放速度。这些知识可能有助于指导和培养女子步伐保龄球运动员，从而提高击球速度和比赛成绩。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching is a peer-reviewed, international, academic/professional journal, which aims to bridge the gap between coaching and sports science. The journal will integrate theory and practice in sports science, promote critical reflection of coaching practice, and evaluate commonly accepted beliefs about coaching effectiveness and performance enhancement. Open learning systems will be promoted in which: (a) sports science is made accessible to coaches, translating knowledge into working practice; and (b) the challenges faced by coaches are communicated to sports scientists. The vision of the journal is to support the development of a community in which: (i) sports scientists and coaches respect and learn from each other as they assist athletes to acquire skills by training safely and effectively, thereby enhancing their performance, maximizing their enjoyment of the sporting experience and facilitating character development; and (ii) scientific research is embraced in the quest to uncover, understand and develop the processes involved in sports coaching and elite performance.
