ABSTRACT:
The aim of the study was to biomechanical analyse of low back injury among the fast medium bowlers. To achieve the purpose of the study 30 male cricket fast medium bowlers were selected from university /district level. Their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. They were divided in to three groups accordingly to their bowling style namely side on, front on and mixed on each consist 10 subjects. The study was determined to select the biomechanical variables. The study was formulated as true random group design 30 subjects. The groups include 30 fast medium bowlers as three types fast medium bowlers like front on, side on and mixed on style bowling. Each participants were asked to bowl three time with their own skills which were recorded by that were video recorded with on camera positioned 8 meter perpendicular to the plane of action. Data were collected by analyzing the video recording of each bowling action. Data processing was performed using the KINOVEA motion analysis software. Collected data were analysed with ANOVA was tested at 5% level of significance and Post hoc Scheffe’s test was used.
