背景技术当第一次学习双手使用工具击中目标时（例如，当砍木头或打高尔夫球时），大多数人采取由他们的优势手支配的姿势。按照惯例，这意味着在许多运动中采用了“右手”或“左手”的姿势，将优势手放置在更靠近工具的打击端。本研究的目的是调查双手击球的传统姿势是否为发展这项任务的专业技能提供了最好的机会。（国际/一流）和93名经验不足（<5年经验）的板球击球手。我们确定了他们的击球姿势（加上手和眼的优势），以比较击球员在击球时采用反向姿势的比例（即，相反的立场，以预期的基础上，他们的惯用手）。结果我们发现，板球击球手谁采取了扭转的立场有一个惊人的优势，与专业击球手7.1倍更有可能采取扭转的立场比没有经验的击球手，独立的，他们是否打击的权利或左手或他们的优势眼的位置。ConclusionFindings意味着，击球手谁采用传统的立场可能会无意中击球“背到前面”，并在游戏中有一个显着的劣势。此外，研究结果可能会更广泛地推广，使问题的方式，其他双手体育动作的教学和执行。
BackgroundWhen first learning to bimanually use a tool to hit a target (e.g., when chopping wood or hitting a golf ball), most people assume a stance that is dictated by their dominant hand. By convention, this means that a ‘right-handed’ or ‘left-handed’ stance that places the dominant hand closer to the striking end of the tool is adopted in many sports.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate whether the conventional stance used for bimanual hitting provides the best chance of developing expertise in that task.MethodsOur study included 43 professional (international/first-class) and 93 inexperienced (<5 years’ experience) cricket batsmen. We determined their batting stance (plus hand and eye dominance) to compare the proportion of batters who adopted a reversed stance when batting (that is, the opposite stance to that expected based on their handedness).ResultsWe found that cricket batsmen who adopted a reversed stance had a stunning advantage, with professional batsmen 7.1 times more likely to adopt a reversed stance than inexperienced batsmen, independent of whether they batted right or left handed or the position of their dominant eye.ConclusionFindings imply that batsmen who adopt a conventional stance may inadvertently be batting ‘back-to-front’ and have a significant disadvantage in the game. Moreover, the results may generalize more widely, bringing into question the way in which other bimanual sporting actions are taught and performed.
