The incidence, prevalence, severity, mechanism and body region of injury in elite junior Australian football players: A prospective cohort study over one season
2018, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :These talent academies were initially established to focus on skill progression and the development of key physical traits,10 in order to facilitate a pathway to becoming an elite senior (AFL) player. Despite these formalised development structures, young aspiring athletes often play across multiple levels of competition, are involved in other sports and carry out their own self-administered strength and conditioning activities.11 These extra commitments can add substantially to the overall load placed on elite junior AF players12; consequently, increasing their risk of negative events such as impaired wellness and injury.13
Junior Australian football injury research: Are we moving forward?
2013, Physical Therapy in SportCitation Excerpt :The results from the AFL injury surveillance program cannot be directly transferred to other levels of football because of difference in factors such as fitness, exposure, skill, participant maturity and match demands (Burgess et al., 2012; Gabbe, Finch, & Cameron, 2007; Veale, Pearce, Buttifant, & Carlson, 2010). As outlined by the TRIPP model, the aim of injury surveillance should be to move beyond descriptive surveillance (TRIPP stage 1) to identifying mechanisms (Grimmer & Williams, 2003; McMahon et al., 1993; Orchard et al., 1998; Romiti et al., 2008; Scase et al., 2012) and risk factors (Banky & McCrory 1999; Chalmers, Magarey, Esterman, Speechley, Scase, & Heynen, 2012; Crow, Pearce, Veale, VanderWesthuizen, Coburn, & Pizzari, 2010; Finch, Donohue, Garnham, & Seward, 2002; Gabbe et al., 2010; Gastin, Bennett, & Cook, 2013; Taylor, Pizzari, Ames, Orchard, Gabbe, & Cook, 2011) (TRIPP stage 2), which lead to the development of injury prevention strategies (TRIPP stages 3–6) (Casey, Finch, Mahoney, & Townsend 2004; Finch, Donohue, & Garnham, 2002; Mitchell, 2000; Osborne, Quinlan, & Allison, 2012; Scase, Cook, Makdissi, Gabbe, & Shuck, 2006) that are appropriate to the intervention context. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to; first, present the available evidence regarding junior AF injury research in line with the TRIPP model, and second, provide recommendations for future research that will strengthen this field.
