Spondylolysis in fast bowlers: principles of prevention and a survey of awareness among cricket coaches.
Sports and Fitness Assessment, London Bridge Clinic, UK.
Back injury in general, and spondylolysis in particular, represents a serious threat to the fast bowler. Hereditary factors, poor technique, overuse, and poor preparation for fast bowling may combine to produce the 'at risk' bowler. Three first-class county coaches were interviewed to establish a level of awareness of the lesion, with an emphasis on preparation of fast bowlers and the roles of technique alteration and bowling prescription in reducing the risk of back injury.
