Cricket

Cricket involves standing, walking, running and sprinting. With matches lasting the whole day even standing in the field with little to do can be very tiring and demanding on the legs and feet. Fast bowlers experience extremely high forces through their feet and legs as they thunder towards the wicket before eventually launching themselves forward and landing on one leg. Today, cricket players spend time on strength and conditioning. These activities place a tremendous strain on the feet and can cause aches and pains or even injury.
