Risk factors for hamstring strain were assessed using a multivariate logistic regression analysis technique. 19bs_bs_query Results: There were 276 match time-loss hamstring injuries recorded over a 20-year period at the Australian state or national player level, of which 20bs_bs_query 170 occurred in one of 40,145 player match sets. The overall rate of match onset rate was 22.5 hamstring injuries per 1000 team days. Fast bowling 21bs_bs_query onset injuries were the highest subcategory at a rate of 10.9 injuries per 1000 team days, although batting onset injuries were particularly common 22bs_bs_query in 50-over one day international matches. Significant risk factors in logistic regression analysis, in addition to hamstring injury history, were being 23bs_bs_query a fast bowler relative risk (RR) 2.5 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3–4.5) and playing a match in Australia RR 2.3 (95% CI: 1.3–3.9). 24bs_bs_query Conclusion: Fast bowlers suffer more hamstring injuries than other playing roles in cricket, particularly in First Class (multi-day) cricket. Batsmen 25bs_bs_query are more likely to get injured in 50-over (one day) cricket. Playing in Australia (compared to overseas venues) leads to increased risk of hamstring 26bs_bs_query injury. 27bs_bs_query © 2017 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.on behalf of Shanghai University of Sport.
