Helmets and shoulder pads are required equipment intended to protect American football athletes by attenuating collision forces during participation. Surprisingly, research differentiating kinematics from head impacts initiated by helmets from those initiated by shoulder pads among adolescent athletes has not been completed. The current study's purpose was to determine the effects of equipment on head impact kinematics.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the rates and causes of lateral ankle sprains in NCAA sports from the 2014-15 to 2018-19 seasons to assess the injury's impact and guide prevention strategies.
- A total of 3,910 sprains were reported, with the highest incidence in men's basketball, and competition events posing a significantly higher risk than practices.
- Nearly half of the sprains resulted in time loss, and the majority were caused by player contact, indicating potential areas for targeted prevention efforts.*
Sport-related concussion (SRC) is a complex injury, and SRCs are notably prevalent among National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes. We analysed SRCs and associated exposure data collected within the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program during 2014-2019. A total of 1,709 SRCs were reported with complete symptom profiles during the study period (Women's sports n = 499; Men's sports n = 1,210).

Insight into non-time-loss (NTL) and time-loss (TL) injuries is needed to inform seasonal injury trends that may lead to appropriate prevention and management strategies. This study provides a descriptive analysis of volleyball injuries among secondary school athletes.
