In addition, perceptual (rating of perceived exertion [RPE] and soreness) measures and external loads (PlayerLoad\u2122, number of sprints, total distance, and overs) were monitored across all formats. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Seam bowlers covered more distance, completed more sprints, and had a higher RPE in training (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.05), without any difference in soreness compared with nonseam bowlers. Compared with seam bowlers, the nonseam bowlers\u2019 peak force decreased post-24\u00a0h compared with baseline only in 1-d cricket (95% CI, 2.1\u2013110.0\u00a0N; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.04). There were no pre\u2013post training or match differences in jump height or alterations in jump strategy (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u2009.05). Seam bowlers increased their peak jumping force from baseline to immediately posttraining or game (95% CI, 28.8\u2013132.4\u00a0N; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.01) but decreased between postcricket to +24\u00a0h (95% CI, 48.89\u2013148.0\u00a0N; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Seam bowlers were more accustomed to high workloads than nonseamers and thus more fatigue resistant. Changes in jump height or strategy do not appear to be effective methods of assessing fatigue in professional crickets. More common metrics such as peak force are more sensitive.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2018-0415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,11]],"date-time":"2018-09-11T20:48:20Z","timestamp":1536698900000},"page":"439-444","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["The Difference in Neuromuscular Fatigue and Workload During Competition and Training in Elite Cricketers"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Kieran","family":"Cooke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tom","family":"Outram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raph","family":"Brandon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Waldron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Will","family":"Vickery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Keenan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jamie","family":"Tallent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"key":"ref261","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"379","DOI":"10.1519\/JSC.0b013e3181be305c","article-title":"The role of rate of force development on vertical jump performance","volume":"25","author":"McLellan","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Strength Cond Res"},{"key":"ref221","first-page":"82","article-title":"Acute enhancement of power performance from heavy load squats","volume":"12","author":"Young","year":"1998","journal-title":"J Strength Cond Res"},{"key":"ref41","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1064","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2014-093683","article-title":"Cricket fast bowling workload patterns as risk factors for tendon, muscle, bone and joint injuries","volume":"49","author":"Orchard","year":"2015","journal-title":"Br J Sports Med"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"604","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsams.2007.08.004","article-title":"Time-motion analysis of first-class cricket fielding","volume":"11","author":"Rudkin","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Sci Med Sport"},{"key":"ref121","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"708","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2013-092524","article-title":"Spikes in acute workload are associated with increased injury risk in elite cricket fast bowlers","volume":"48","author":"Hulin","year":"2014","journal-title":"Br J Sports Med"},{"key":"ref151","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1080\/02640410903348665","article-title":"Movement patterns in cricket vary by both position and game format","volume":"28","author":"Petersen","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Sports Sci"},{"key":"ref81","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0838.1991.tb00265.x","article-title":"Fatigue effects of marathon running on neuromuscular performance: I.
