| dc.description.abstract | Background: Sports injuries have been reported to place pressure on global health systems. To lessen this pressure, sports medical staff play an important role in injury prevention. Injury surveillance is the starting point for injury prevention. To date, there are two consensus statements on injury surveillance in cricket. There are no studies that have reviewed the strategies used to monitor injury among amateur and professional cricketers. Reviewing the current strategies may provide guidance to future researchers and role players on the status of injury surveillance among amateur and professional cricketers. Aims: The overall aim of the present study was to review the existing literature regarding injury surveillance strategies used to monitor injury among amateur and professional cricketers, as well as to assess the reporting of these findings according to both of the cricket injury surveillance consensus statements. In addition to this, this study set out to achieve the following objectives: to describe the surveillance strategies currently used to monitor injuries in amateur and professional cricket players; to assess the methodological quality of the included studies; to assess the reporting of injury surveillance data for amateur and professional cricket players according to the 2005 and 2016 injury surveillance consensus statements; and to make recommendations for future surveillance studies based on the findings of the present study. | |
