Does the backlift also matter in female cricket? A biomechanical investigation among local and international female cricket batters

Findings suggest that the LBBT offers biomechanical advantages and may be a key contributing factor in optimising female batting performance. Future longitudinal research studies should focus on three-dimensional (3D) motion capture (as well as markerless motion capture) on the LBBT, integrating real-time analytics and expanding sample sizes to include diverse player populations.

Abstract

Findings suggest that the LBBT offers biomechanical advantages and may be a key contributing factor in optimising female batting performance. Future longitudinal research studies should focus on three-dimensional (3D) motion capture (as well as markerless motion capture) on the LBBT, integrating real-time analytics and expanding sample sizes to include diverse player populations.
