The aim of the current study was to capture and better understand the current perceptions of injury risk factors and player monitoring practices in elite men’s domestic senior cricket, to help guide practice in this setting. A cross-sectional mixed-methods design was used, consisting of a quantitative survey sent to science and medicine practitioners at all English County clubs (n = 23, with representation from each club) and a set of qualitative interviews (n = 10 from six County clubs). Previous injury and physical fitness were the intrinsic injury risk factors most frequently endorsed as being important, with reduced recovery time and congested match schedules the most frequently endorsed extrinsic risk factors. Monitoring bowling overs was the most common tool for continually assessing injury risk. Player adherence was perceived to be the main factor impacting effective monitoring, along with human resource and practical application of monitoring knowledge. The interviews revealed that communicating value, fostering effective working relationships, and a strong club culture were important for successfully implementing monitoring and prevention initiatives. Cricket presents distinct challenges for its practitioners, and more education and guidance on appropriate monitoring methods and analysis is needed.

本研究的目的是捕捉和更好地理解目前对精英男子国内高级板球比赛中受伤危险因素的理解和运动员监控的做法，以帮助指导这种情况下的练习。使用横断面混合方法设计，包括对所有英格兰郡县俱乐部的科学和医学从业者进行定量调查（n  = 23，每个俱乐部都有代表）和一组定性访谈（n = 6个县俱乐部的10）。先前的受伤和身体健康是最常被认可为重要的内在伤害危险因素，而恢复时间缩短和赛程拥挤是最常被认可的外部危险因素。监视保龄球的溢出是连续评估伤害风险的最常用工具。与人力资源和监控知识的实际应用一样，玩家的坚持被认为是影响有效监控的主要因素。访谈显示，沟通价值，建立有效的工作关系以及牢固的俱乐部文化对于成功实施监控和预防计划至关重要。板球运动给练习者带来了独特的挑战，
