Deep dives
Functional Variability in Cricket Bowling
Cricket bowlers use movement variability rather than movement repeatability to control delivery timing and speed. This aligns with the ecological approach, emphasizing that consistent outcomes are achieved through functional variability in movement, not exact repetition. The study examines the variability in timing between different phases of bowling to assess its impact on performance outcomes, specifically in maintaining delivery speed.
