Abstract

Biomechanical analysis of force production during under-arm throwing techniques in cricket

Author(s): Syed Ibrahim, Mohammed Arshad Bari and Ikram Hussain

10 cricketers representing Aligarh University in the North-Zone inter university cricket tournament were selected as subjects for this study. The subjects were asked to make under-arm throws from marked spot at 900 angle from the stump/target situated at a distance of 10 m. All the subjects were instructed to follow to take first step run with approach angles (1800). Successful throws were selected on the basis of experts rating and qualitative analysis. The variable analyzed were velocity, acceleration, force and the angle of the wrist joint to that of the force model when under arm throws were made. The subject’s under arm throwing movements were recorded using Canon Legria SF10, 8.1 Mp video camera in a field setting operating at a nominal frame rate of 50 Hz and with shutter speed of 1/2000 s and at 60fps camera in a field setting. The camera was set-up on a rigid tripod and secured to the floor in the location. From that, the data for velocity, acceleration, angle of wrist and distance when throwing were asserted. The data was subjected to Biomechanical analysis with the application of Silicon Coach Pro-7 and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS-18). The equation that related with the variables was identified according to the result from SPSS-18 table of summary for regression model, ANOVA of regression model and coefficient of regression model for each variable. This study will help the cricket teams to create and determine the best and possible solution to enhance their throwing skills.
