Biomechanical Analysis of Throwing Technique in Cricket

Abstract

This study focuse on synthesizing and analysing the biomechanical research which has been carried out on over-head throwing in men's cricket. Specifically, it relates to those elements of the throwing technique which contribute towards significance effect on overhead throwing. Total Two male cricket players were selected Indian male cricket players who had represented at First-class cricket level as a sample on the basis of performance in preceding competition. The age of both the subjects was ranged above 27 years. The selected kinematical variables were  Horizontal velocity of Elbow joint, Vertical velocity of Elbow joint at the time of over-head throwing technique from 30 yard circle  and performance of male cricket players. The Kinematic Analysis of Throwing Technique mean, standard deviation and Karl Pearson’s product moment coefficient correlation were used with the help of statistical package of SPSS. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The outcome of the study shows that significant relationship with performance (.458, .580) of over-head throwing technique in both variables.
