Abstract

Objectives: To describe and compare the incidence and propensity of head acceleration events (HAEs) using instrumented mouthguards (iMG) by playing position in a season of English elite-level men's and women's rugby union matches.

Methods: iMG data were collected for 255 men and 133 women from 1,865 and 807 player-matches, respectively, and synchronised to video-coded match footage. Head peak resultant linear acceleration (PLA) and peak resultant angular acceleration (PAA) were extracted from each HAE. Mean incidence and propensity values were calculated across different recording thresholds for forwards and backs in addition to positional groups (front row, second row, back row, half backs, centres, back three) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) estimated. Significance was determined based on 95% CI not overlapping across recording thresholds.

Results: For both men and women, HAE incidence was twice as high for forwards than backs across the majority of recording thresholds. HAE incidence and propensity were significantly lower in the women's game compared to the men's game. Back-row and front-row players had the highest incidence across all HAE thresholds for men's forwards, while women's forward positional groups and men's and women's back positional groups were similar. Tackles and carries exhibited a greater propensity to result in HAE for forward positional groups and the back three in the men's game, and back row in the women's game.

Conclusion: These data offer valuable benchmark and comparative data for future research, HAE mitigation strategies, and management of HAE exposure in elite rugby players. Positional-specific differences in HAE incidence and propensity should be considered in future mitigation strategies.

一个赛季的男子和女子英格兰精英级俱乐部橄榄球联盟比赛中头部加速事件的发生率和倾向性。
目的方法:分别从 1865 场和 807 场球员比赛中收集 255 名男子和 133 名女子的 iMG 数据,并与视频编码的比赛录像同步。从每个 HAE 中提取头部峰值结果线性加速度 (PLA) 和峰值结果角加速度 (PAA)。除了位置组(前排、第二排、后排、半后卫、中锋、后三)外,还计算了不同记录阈值下前锋和后卫的平均发生率和倾向值,并估算了 95% 的置信区间 (CI)。根据不同记录阈值的 95% 置信区间不重叠来确定显著性:结果:无论男女,在大多数记录临界值中,前锋的 HAE 发病率是后卫的两倍。与男子比赛相比,女子比赛的 HAE 发生率和倾向性明显较低。在所有HAE临界值中,男子前锋的后排和前排球员的发病率最高,而女子前锋位置组、男子后卫位置组和女子后卫位置组的发病率相似。在男子比赛中,前锋位置组和后卫三人组以及在女子比赛中,后排球员的拦截和搬运更容易导致 HAE:这些数据为今后的研究、HAE 缓解策略和精英橄榄球运动员 HAE 暴露管理提供了宝贵的基准和比较数据。在未来的缓解策略中,应考虑到不同位置在 HAE 发生率和倾向性方面的差异。
