Contact-events and associated head acceleration events in semi-elite women's rugby union: A competition-wide instrumented mouthguard study.
This study aimed to quantify contact-events and associated head acceleration event (HAE) probabilities in semi-elite women's rugby union. Instrumented mouthguards (iMGs) were worn by players competing in the 2023 Farah Palmer Cup season (13 teams, 217 players) during 441 player-matches. Maximum peak linear acceleration (PLA) and peak angular acceleration (PAA) per-event were used as estimates of in vivo HAE (HAEmax), linked to video analysis-derived contact-events and analysed using mixed-effects regression. Back-rows had the highest number of contact-events per full-match (44.1 [41.2 to 47.1]). No differences were apparent between front-five and centres, or between half-backs and outside-backs. The probability of higher HAEmax occurring was greatest in ball-carries, followed by tackles, defensive rucks and attacking rucks. Probability profiles were similar between positions but the difference in contact-events for each position influenced HAEmax exposure. Overall, most HAEmax were relatively low. For example, the probability of a back-row experiencing a PLA HAEmax ≥25g was 0.045 (0.037-0.054) for ball carries (1 in every 22 carries), translating to 1 in every 2.3 full games. This study presents the first in-depth analysis of contact-events and associated HAEmax in semi-elite women's rugby union. The HAEmax profiles during contact-events can help inform both policy and research into injury mitigation strategies.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Sports Sciences has an international reputation for publishing articles of a high standard and is both Medline and Clarivate Analytics-listed. It publishes research on various aspects of the sports and exercise sciences, including anatomy, biochemistry, biomechanics, performance analysis, physiology, psychology, sports medicine and health, as well as coaching and talent identification, kinanthropometry and other interdisciplinary perspectives.
The emphasis of the Journal is on the human sciences, broadly defined and applied to sport and exercise. Besides experimental work in human responses to exercise, the subjects covered will include human responses to technologies such as the design of sports equipment and playing facilities, research in training, selection, performance prediction or modification, and stress reduction or manifestation. Manuscripts considered for publication include those dealing with original investigations of exercise, validation of technological innovations in sport or comprehensive reviews of topics relevant to the scientific study of sport.
