Player and match characteristics associated with head acceleration events in elite-level men’s and women’s rugby union matches
By David Allan, James Tooby, Lindsay Starling, Ross Tucker| BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine Verified Head acceleration events (HAEs) mitigation strategies are a priority for rugby union to optimise player welfare. Instrumented mouthguards show promise as an accurate method for on-field HAE measurement. HAEs occurred in on-field regions where contact event occurrence was the highest. Substitutes had a higher HAE incidence than starters over certain PLA recording thresholds for men. No significant differences in match quarter HAE incidence or propensity were found.
