Abstract
With the recent introduction of artificial grass playing surfaces on the field in community level cricket, this article presents the physical performance and injury-related perceptions of male, senior cricketers. Following the validity and reliability tests, 43 cricketers from two clubs completed a questionnaire consisting of three parts: demographic information; individual performance; and injury risk and severity. Descriptive variables were calculated and chi-square tests were conducted to identify differences in perception based on the field type players were exposed to and their injury status. Most players preferred artificial grass for training (53.7%) and wet/rainy conditions (64.1%), but natural grass for competitive matches (67.4%) and dry conditions (69.0%). There were significant differences in the perception of game speed (P < 0.001), the need to be fitter (P = 0.015), and overall physical performance quality based on injury status (P = 0.017) and field (P <0.021). Skin injuries were the only injuries reported to be more likely on artificial turf. Overall, players did not feel that the technical and physical performance aspects of cricket were affected when playing on artificial grass compared to natural grass. However, the pitch type that players were exposed to had a significant impact on their perceptions and highlights the importance of artificial grass composition for future application in cricket.
Keywords:
