Differences in trunk range of motion for various flexibility protocol types, particularly in quarterbacks wearing rib protectors
2021, Sports Orthopaedics and TraumatologyCitation Excerpt :However, some quarterbacks may choose not to wear rib protectors if they perceive that the additional equipment will hinder their performance or range of motion. Previous research has shown that athletes would not wear prophylactic devices, such as ankle braces, headgear, and mouth guards, if there is discomfort and/or perceived impact on performance [5,11,22]. Our previous study investigated performance and mobility perceptions while wearing rib protectors during a short-distance football pass [25].
When 'just doing it' is not enough: Assessing the fidelity of player performance of an injury prevention exercise program
2015, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :Direct observations have been advocated as a way to measure behaviour in relation to intervention delivery in different injury contexts.23–25 Within sport and recreational injury research to date, direct observational audits are rare, having been used only to record safety behaviours in golf,26 squash,21 AF27 and on the beach.15 From this first application of the FOT, it is clear that exercise fidelity is an important area to include in SIPP research.
Improving the diffusion of safety initiatives in community sport
2015, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :If the gap separating research, policy and practice is to be bridged within the sports sector, then epidemiological and intervention research must be complemented by practice-based research that takes the “contextual determinants of success” into account.4 There are many challenges associated with facilitating community sports participant compliance with injury prevention interventions7–9 and the widespread uptake of safety interventions10,11 and policies12,13 in community sport. For example, a 2010 survey of community rugby union coaches in north eastern New South Wales (NSW, Australia) found that although the Mayday Safety Procedure (MSP) is included in compulsory SmartRugby coach training 14 and the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) Medical and Safety Recommendations,15 coaches had poor written recall of the key MSP steps and they did not regularly train or assess the MSP competency of their players.16
