How fast bowling affects bone health
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how cricket fast bowling affects your bone health and the signals your body sends to build or break down bone. If you're a healthy young male fast bowler, this trial will help understand the immediate impact of bowling on your bones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a healthy male between 18 and 30.

This study collects information and samples around the time of certain bone or joint surgeries (like joint replacement or fracture repair) to learn what factors help or harm bone healing. The results may help find better targets to improve long-term bone health and recovery.
This study is testing whether core stability exercises can help cricket fast bowlers prevent back pain. It compares doing core exercises on their own versus combining them with regular training.
This study looks at what bone “profiles” look like in healthy adult athletes. It may help researchers better understand how normal bone health varies in people who are physically active.
This trial tests plyometric exercises (jumping and explosive moves) to see if they can improve strength and performance for female fast bowlers in cricket. If you are a healthy, active bowler between 19 and 28, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how signals from muscles affect bone health in women of different ages. It aims to understand why bone density changes over time.
This trial compares two sets of exercises to see which better helps bowlers with shoulder instability. If you are a male bowler aged 16 to 25 with at least 2 years of experience and no recent shoulder injuries, this study may be right for you.
