Abstract

Background: In tackle-collision sports, the tackle has the highest incidence, severity, and burden of injury. Head injuries and concussions during the tackle are a major concern within tackle-collision sports. To reduce concussion and head impact risk, evaluating optimal tackle techniques to inform tackle-related prevention strategies has been recommended. The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic scoping review of player-level tackle training intervention studies in all tackle-collision sports.

Methods: The Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage scoping review process and Levac et al.'s framework were used, along with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. The main inclusion criteria were that the study included an intervention aimed at improving a player's tackle abilities, and the intervention had to be delivered/implemented at the player-level in a training setting.

Results: Thirteen studies were included in this review, seven studies in American Football (54%), followed by a combined cohort of rugby union and rugby league players (three studies; 23%), rugby union (two studies; 15%), and one study reported on a rugby league cohort (8%). Studies focused primarily on the tackler, with the intervention incorporating a form of instruction or feedback, delivered through video or an expert coach. Other interventions included an 8-week strength and power training programme, designing practice sessions based on baseline data, and helmetless training in American Football. All interventions demonstrated a favourable change in the outcome measured-which included tackler and ball-carrier kinematics based on motion capture video, tackler proficiency scoring, tackling task analysis, head impact frequencies by xPatch head-impact sensor technology, head impact kinematics using head-impact sensors (helmet or skin patches) and football tackle kinematics with motion capture systems or video.

Conclusion: This review shows that a range of studies have been undertaken focusing on player-level training interventions. The quality of studies were rated as 'good', and all studies showed improvements in outcome measures. Coaches and policy makers should ensure tackle technique is profiled alongside other player characteristics, and an evidence-based approach to improving player tackling is adopted, improving both performance and reducing injury risk.

Key points: Only 13 studies tested or implemented interventions at the player level in tackle-collision sports. The focus of the studies was primarily on the tackler, with the interventions incorporating a form of instruction or feedback, which was delivered through video or an expert coach. Other interventions included an 8-week strength and power training programme, designing practice sessions based on baseline data, and helmetless training in American Football. All interventions demonstrated a favourable change in the outcome measure and provide coaches and policymakers with tackle training insights.

Registration: The systematic scoping review was prospectively registered with OSF (registration number: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/V3KZC ).

球员层面的铲球训练干预铲球碰撞运动:一个系统的范围审查。
背景:在铲球碰撞运动中,铲球具有最高的发生率、严重性和伤害负担。在铲球过程中,头部受伤和脑震荡是铲球碰撞运动中的一个主要问题。为了减少脑震荡和头部撞击风险,建议评估最佳铲球技术,为铲球相关的预防策略提供信息。本研究的目的是对所有铲球碰撞运动中球员水平的铲球训练干预研究进行系统的范围评估。方法:使用Arksey和O' malley的五阶段范围审查过程和Levac等人的框架,以及系统审查的首选报告项目和范围审查的元分析扩展(PRISMA-ScR)清单。主要的纳入标准是,该研究包括旨在提高球员铲球能力的干预措施,并且干预措施必须在训练环境中在球员层面上实施。结果:本综述纳入了13项研究,其中7项研究涉及美式橄榄球(54%),其次是橄榄球联盟和橄榄球联盟球员的联合队列(3项研究,23%),橄榄球联盟(2项研究,15%)和一项研究报道橄榄球联盟队列(8%)。研究主要集中在抢断者身上,干预包括通过视频或专家教练提供的指导或反馈形式。其他干预措施包括为期8周的力量和力量训练计划,根据基线数据设计练习课程,以及美式橄榄球的无头盔训练。所有干预措施都显示了测量结果的有利变化,包括基于动作捕捉视频的抢断者和持球者运动学、抢断者熟练程度评分、抢断任务分析、使用xPatch头部撞击传感器技术的头部撞击频率、使用头部撞击传感器(头盔或皮肤贴片)的头部撞击运动学以及使用动作捕捉系统或视频的足球铲球运动学。结论:这篇综述表明,一系列的研究都集中在球员水平的训练干预上。研究的质量被评为“良好”,所有研究都显示出结果测量的改善。教练和政策制定者应该确保铲球技术与球员的其他特征一起被记录下来,并采用一种基于证据的方法来提高球员的铲球能力,既提高了表现,又降低了受伤的风险。关键点:只有13项研究在铲球碰撞运动中测试或实施了球员层面的干预措施。研究的重点主要放在铲球者身上,干预措施包括通过视频或专家教练提供的指导或反馈形式。其他干预措施包括为期8周的力量和力量训练计划,根据基线数据设计练习课程,以及美式橄榄球的无头盔训练。所有干预措施都显示出结果测量的有利变化,并为教练和政策制定者提供了解决培训的见解。注册:系统范围审查已在OSF前瞻性注册(注册号:https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/V3KZC)。
