Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are significant relation exists between ball release velocity and kinematics factors when bowls fastest delivery by U-19 pace bowlers. 10 male injury free junior pace bowlers (18.1±0.94 years) were enrolled from Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh and filmed in an outdoor turf pitch (20.12 mtrs.) having sufficient area for run-up by four HD video cameras of 50 Hz and 60 fps frame rate were positioned at sagittal and frontal plane at a distance of 11 mtrs. For the digitization of data Kenovea – 8.24 was used. The Pearson Product Moment Method was calculated through IBM-SPSS 20. The result of the study shows that fastest ball release velocity has a positive significant association (0.638); inverse significant association (-0.747) and (-0.666,) among the shoulder angle at ball release, run-up velocity and trunk lateral flexion (TLF) respectively. In conclusion, kinematic factors like shoulder angle, run-up velocity and trunk lateral flexion are important issues to generate ball speed in junior pace bowlers. Article visualizations:
