“…Hyperextension of the lumbar spine is thought to be the mechanism of injury in other sports with a high rate of lumbar stress fractures such as gymnastics (Sward, 1992) and American Football (Ferguson et al, 1974). Previous authors have suggested that excessive SCR may force the lumbar spine into hyperextension (Annear et al, 1989, Elliott et al, 1992, Bartlett, 2003.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the current fast bowling action classification system and potentially injurious kinematics of the lower trunk during fast bowling. Three-dimensional kinematic data were collected from 50 male professional fast bowlers during a standing active range of motion trial and three fast bowling trials. Seventyfour percent of the fast bowlers used a mixed bowling action attributable to having shoulder counter-rotation greater than 30°. There was no difference in the proportion of available lower trunk extension, contralateral side-flexion and ipsilateral rotation range of motion used during fast bowling by mixed and non-mixed action bowlers. The greatest proportion of lower trunk extension (26%), contralateral side-flexion (131%) and ipsilateral rotation (79%) was utilised during the front-foot contact phase of the fast bowling delivery stride. It is proposed that the combination of end range lower trunk positioning, especially side-flexion, and high ground reaction (compressive) forces during the front foot contact phase are the most important pathomechanical factors in the typical pattern of contralateral side lumbar stress injuries seen in this population.

“…Low back pain is frequently associated with industrial or vocational injury and has recently been attributed to participation in athletic activities such as gymnastics and football (1,2). The available medical literature, however, does not provide evidence of an association between transcendental meditation and back pain or back injury.…”
