Article Synopsis
- Concussions in contact sports pose significant challenges in prevention, detection, and management for athletes, medical professionals, and sporting organizations.
- Recent technological advancements have led to the creation of a comprehensive database by researchers and clinicians from the Australasian National Rugby League to analyze head impacts and track clinical outcomes.
- This protocol aims to enhance understanding of concussions in rugby through detailed data collection, informing injury prevention strategies and improving overall player safety.
Objective: The tackle is the most injurious event in rugby league and carries the greatest risk of concussion. This study aims to replicate previous research conducted in professional men's rugby league by examining the association between selected tackle characteristics and head impact events (HIEs) in women's professional rugby league.
Methods: We reviewed and coded 83 tackles resulting in an HIE and every tackle (6,318 tackles) that did not result in an HIE for three seasons (2018-2020) of the National Rugby League Women's (NRLW) competition.
Objectives: Identify the frequency, propensity, and factors related to tackle events which result in contact with the head in elite-level women's rugby league.
Design: Prospective video analysis study.
Methods: Video footage from 59 Women's Super League matches were analysed (n = 14,378 tackle events).
Objective: To investigate the effect of physical interventions (subthreshold aerobic exercise, cervical, vestibular and/or oculomotor therapies) on days to recovery and symptom scores in the management of concussion.
Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Data Sources: Medline, CINAHL, Embase, SportDiscus, Cochrane library, Scopus and PEDro.
