  • The Swing of a Cricket Ball
    SCIENCE BEHIND REVERSE SWING C.P.VINOD CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory Pune BACKGROUND INFORMATION • Swing bowling is a skill in cricket that bowlers use to get a batsmen out. • It involves bowling a ball in such a way that it curves or ‘swings’ in the air. • The process that causes this ball to swing can be explained through aerodynamics. Dynamics is the study of the cause of the motion and changes in motion Aerodynamics is a branch of Dynamics which studies the motion of air particularly when it interacts with a moving object There are basically four factors that govern swing of the cricket ball: Seam Asymmetry in ball due to uneven tear Speed Bowling Action Seam of cricket ball Asymmetry in ball due to uneven tear Cricket ball is made from a core of cork, which is layered with tightly wound string, and covered by a leather case with a slightly raised sewn seam Dimensions- Weight: 155.9 and 163.0 g 224 and 229 mm in circumference Speed Fast bowler between 130 to 160 KPH THE BOUNDARY LAYER • When a sphere travels through air, the air will be forced to negotiate a path around the ball • The Boundary Layer is defined as the small layer of air that is in contact with the surface of a projectile as it moves through the air • Initially the air that hits the front of the ball will stick to the ball and accelerate in order to obtain the balls velocity. • In doing so it applies pressure (Force) in the opposite direction to the balls velocity by NIII Law, this is known as a Drag Force.

  • Cricket Injuries
    CRICKET INJURIES Cricket can lead to injuries similar to those seen in other sports which involve running, throwing or being hit by a hard object. However, there are some injuries to look out for especially in cricket players. Low Back Injuries A pace bowler can develop a stress fracture in the back. This can develop in the area of the vertebra called the pars interarticularis (“pars”) in players aged 12- 21. Parsstress fractures are thought to be caused by repetitive hyper-extension and rotation of the spine that can occur in fast bowling. The most common site is at the level of the 5th lumbar vertebra (L5). Risk Factors Factors in bowling technique that are thought to increase the risk of getting a pars stress fracture are: • Posture of the shoulders and hips when the back foot hits the ground: completely side-on and semi-open bowling actions are the safest. A mixed action (hips side-on and shoulders front-on or vice versa) increases the risk of injury. Interestingly, recent research is suggesting the completely front-on action may be unsafe as rotation of the spine tends to occur in the action following back foot impact. Up until now, front-on was thought to be the safest. • Change in the alignment of the shoulders or of the hips during the delivery stride. • Extended front knee at front foot contact with the ground. • Higher ball release height. The other general risk factor for injuries in bowlers is high bowling workload: consecutive days bowling and high number of bowling sessions per week.

Published: 15 June 2020 Abstract: Profiling of spin bowlers is currently based on the assessment of translational velocity and spin rate (angular velocity). If two spin bowlers impart the same spin rate on the ball, but bowler A generates more spin rate than bowler B, then bowler A has a higher chance to be drafted, although bowler B has the potential to achieve the same spin rate, if the losses are minimized (e.g., by optimizing the bowler’s kinematics through training). We used a smart cricket ball for determining the spin rate and torque imparted on the ball at a high sampling frequency. The ratio of peak torque to maximum spin rate times 100 was used for determining the ‘spin bowling potential’. A ratio of greater than 1 has more potential to improve the spin rate. The spin bowling potential ranged from 0.77 to 1.42. Comparatively, the bowling potential in fast bowlers ranged from 1.46 to 1.95.

  • Key Concepts for Injury Prevention in Baseball Players
    Baseball Key Concepts for Injury Prevention What kind of injuries occur in baseball? Traumatic injuries occur suddenly. These are typically prevented with proper equipment, rules, regulations and fair play. Overuse injuries occur over time. These can be prevented by knowing early warning signs, general conditioning and following recommendations for rest. What is forced rest? Body tissues can become worn out and painful when they get too much stress with certain activities. Forced rest is taking a strategic break from motions or activities that cause damage and sometimes pain. What else can be done to reduce injury risk in baseball? • Avoid playing on multiple teams in one season • Be smart about side session work, this counts toward pitch counts too. • Play multiple sports • Take 2-3 months off from pitching each year • Cross train during season and in the off-season • Ramp up slowly in pre-season Cross training ideas for young baseball players? • Flexibility exercises • Sprinting drills • Strength training with body resistance • Core stabilization and shoulder blade stabilization Who is more likely to get an overuse injury? • Pitchers that also play in other heavy throwing positions when not pitching, i.e. catcher, shortstop • Pitchers who play year-round or on multiple teams • Players who continue throwing through fatigue and/or pain. 469-515-7100 • scottishritehospital.org Continued on reverse Baseball Training Tips Balance baseball skills training with cross training.

  • Dynamical Chaos in a Simple Model of a Knuckleball
    Dynamical Chaos in a Simple Model of a Knuckleball Nicholas J. Nelson, Eric Strauss Department of Physics California State University, Chico 400 W. 1st St. Chico, CA 95929 Abstract The knuckleball is perhaps the most enigmatic pitch in baseball. Relying on the presence of raised seams on the surface of the ball to create asymmetric flow, a knuckleball's trajectory has proven very challenging to predict compared to other baseball pitches, such as fastballs or curveballs. Previous experimental tracking of large numbers of knuckleballs has shown that they can move in essentially any direction relative to what would be expected from a drag-only trajectory. This has led to speculation that knuckleballs exhibit chaotic motion. Here we develop a relatively simple model of a knuckleball that includes quadratic drag and lift from asymmetric flow which is taken from experimental measurements of slowly rotating baseballs. Our models can indeed exhibit dynamical chaos as long In contrast, models that omit torques on the ball in flight do not show chaotic behavior. Uncertainties in the phase space position of the knuckleball are shown to grow by factors as large as 106 over the flight of the ball from the pitcher to home plate. We quantify the impact of our model parameters on the chaos realized in our models, specifically showing that maximum Lyapunov exponent is roughly proportional to the square root of the effective lever arm of the torque, and also roughly proportional to the initial velocity of the pitch. We demonstrate the existence of bifurcations that can produce changes in the location of the ball when it reaches the plate of as much as 1.2 m for specific initial conditions similar to those used by professional knuckleball pitchers.

  • Title Ix and Baseball: How the Contact Sports Exemption Denies Women Equal Opportunity to America’S Pastime
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NVJ\14-3\NVJ311.txt unknown Seq: 1 5-JUN-14 7:37 TITLE IX AND BASEBALL: HOW THE CONTACT SPORTS EXEMPTION DENIES WOMEN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO AMERICA’S PASTIME Brittany K. Puzey* INTRODUCTION Imagine yourself as a child. I know, I know, it seems a little silly and perhaps even oxymoronic to try to imagine simpler times while reading a legal article, but I implore you to do so. Each of us had something that we aspired to become, be it a racecar driver or a rock star, a ballerina or a ball-player. Do you remember what your aspiration was? For many kids, early dreams and aspira- tions planted the seed for a real career—a seed that gradually blossomed as those children learned what they liked and what they ultimately desired. That tiny seed of “make believe” helped them to decide how to achieve their particu- lar career choice. Would-be doctors began studying extra hard and taking advanced classes. Hopeful singers belted out tunes at the top of their lungs and enrolled in vocal lessons. Aspiring baseball players joined local teams, where they worked hard at practice—running sprints, catching flies, taking extra cuts, and lifting weights. Slowly, but surely, dreams began to morph into reality. In today’s society, laws of equal opportunity generally promote and encourage children of both genders to pursue whichever career choice they desire.1 Little girls who dream of becoming baseball players, however, do not have this opportunity. Instead, Title IX’s Contact Sports Exemption essentially denies women the chance to pursue baseball as a legitimate career, or even to play the sport at the collegiate level.

  • Surface EMG-Based Profiling and Fatigue Analysis of the Biceps Brachii Muscle of Cricket Bowlers
    Surface EMG-based Profiling and Fatigue Analysis of the Biceps Brachii Muscle of Cricket Bowlers Muhammad Usama Rizwan, Nadeem Ahmad Khan, Rushda Basir Ahmad and Muneeb Ijaz Department of Electrical Engineering, Lahore University of Management Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan Keywords: EMG, Mean Power Frequency, Fatigue Analysis, Cricket Bowling, Player Profile, Player Development. Abstract: Cricket bowling action is a complex repetitive task involving multiple muscles. In this paper we present a protocol to analyse accumulated localized fatigue in muscles during cricket bowling action. Biceps Brachii (BB) muscle in case of fast delivery for a novice player is analysed to illustrate the methodology. Synchronized video recording with the surface EMG signal was captured from the medial position of the BB muscle to enable segmentation of the EMG signal in six intervals corresponding to the six phases of the bowling action. This enables study of the activation pattern of the muscle along with the fatigue trend during bowling. Both integrated EMG and Mean Power frequency (MPF) are used as measures to analyse fatigue. Though we have plotted the trends for a single muscle, a similar exercise should be repeated for all important muscles involved. Analysing localized fatigue in individual muscles is important for injury prevention as well as player performance development. It can help to see how individual muscle fatigue contributes in declining performance during cricket bowling. Such an analysis can also be used to support minimum bowling overs and suitable inter-over breaks for a specific bowler with regard to injury prevention and optimal performance. 1 INTRODUCTION is a commercially available device for acquiring bio- potential data.
