| Summary: | The aim of this study was to compare a batsman's running and turning speed during three runs while wearing either traditional batting pads or one of two models of newly designed cricket batting pads. Fifteen cricketers participated. The running and turning speeds were measured on three different days with players using the three pairs of batting pads for each trial in random order. The weights of the pads were 1.85 kg, 1.70 kg and 1.30 kg for P
1
, P
2
and P
3
respectively. Each player had to run three runs (3 × 17.68m), with the times recorded at the completion of each run, as well as the time to cover the distance from 5 m before and after the turn at the end of the first run. The fastest time from two trials for each pair of pads was retained for analysis. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures was used to determine the differences between the mean times of the three trials. The results showed no significant differences between the types of batting pads and the time to complete the run-three-runs test (P
1
= 10.67 ± 0.48 s; P
2
= 10.67 ± 0.43; P
3
= 10.69 ± 0.44 s), the turning time (P
1
= 2.34 ± 0.18 s; P
2
= 2.32 ± 0.18 s; P
3
= 2.35 ± 0.19 s) and to complete the third run (P
1
= 3.49 ± 0.44 s; P
2
= 3.53 ± 0.34 s; P
3
= 3.51 ± 0.36 s). Of the 45 trials of three runs used for analysis, P, recorded the fastest time on 16 trials (36%), P
2
on 19 trials (42%) and P
3
on 10 trials (22%). The results showed no significant differences in the running or turning speeds, although there may be some practical relevance to using the newly designed cricket batting pads. |
