Prevention strategies and modifiable risk factors for sport-related concussions and head impacts: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Paul H. Eliason et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated prevention strategies, unintended consequences, and modifiable risk factors for sport-related concussion (SRC) and/or head impact risk. The findings suggest that protective gear, policy and rule changes, training strategies, and SRC management strategies may help to prevent SRC. The study highlights the importance of further research on modifiable risk factors for informing effective concussion prevention strategies. Rating: 8/10.

Injury Rates, Mechanisms, Risk Factors and Prevention Strategies in Youth Rugby Union: What's All the Ruck-Us About? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Stephen W. West et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated injury and concussion rates, risk factors, and prevention strategies in youth rugby. The study found that male match injury rates were 40.2/1000 match hours, while female rates were 69.0/1000 match hours. Concussion rates were 6.2/1000 player-hours for males and 33.9/1000 player-hours for females. The most common injury sites and types varied by gender. Higher levels of play and increasing age were identified as strong risk factors. The most promising prevention strategy was neuromuscular training.

It Takes Two to Tango: High Rates of Injury and Concussion in Ball Carriers and Tacklers in High School Boys' Rugby

Stephen W. West et al.

Summary: This study aimed to examine injury and concussion rates, mechanisms, locations, and types of injury in Canadian high school male rugby. A prospective cohort study was conducted on 429 high school players from 12 teams in 7 schools in Calgary, Canada. It was found that the rate of injury and concussion in Canadian youth high school male rugby is high, with head injuries being the most common. Therefore, implementation of prevention strategies, particularly targeting concussion and the tackle event, is critically needed.

Effectiveness of the Activate injury prevention exercise programme to prevent injury in schoolboy rugby union

Craig Barden et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of the Activate injury prevention exercise programme in English schoolboy rugby union. The results showed lower injury rates in individuals on teams that adopted Activate, with higher adherence associated with even lower injury rates. It is important to focus on factors influencing programme uptake and implementation to maximize the benefits of Activate.

Craig Barden et al.

Summary: This study aimed to describe injury epidemiology of seven youth sports, with American football having the highest injury incidence. Concussion was the most common injury type, with a majority of injuries occurring through player contact. Valid comparisons of injury risk between youth sports were enabled by the standardized data collection methods employed in this study.

Anterior cruciate ligament injury: towards a gendered environmental approach

Joanne L. Parsons et al.

Summary: For over 20 years, the ACL injury rate disparity between girls/women and boys/men has remained unchanged. This paper highlights the absence of gender as an influential factor in discussions surrounding ACL injuries, and proposes integrating gender as a developmental environment to better understand gender's impact on injury prevention and treatment. By incorporating gender into the study of ACL injuries, there is potential for new interdisciplinary research and more effective approaches to addressing this ongoing issue.
