There is growing interest in the area of elite athlete mental health, however brief, valid and reliable screening instruments designed to identify early indictors athlete-specific distress potential health symptoms are lacking. This study sought develop a brief instrument for populations – Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire (APSQ) examine convergent, divergent construct validity. A two-stage psychometric validation was undertaken. Self-report data collected from 1,007 currently...
The 2017 Berlin Concussion in Sport Group Consensus Statement provides a global summary of best practice concussion prevention, diagnosis and management, underpinned by systematic reviews expert consensus. Due to their different settings rules, individual sports need adapt guidelines according specific regulatory environment. At the same time, consistent application Statement’s themes across sporting codes is likely facilitate superior uniform improve education highlight collaborative...
To examine the sensitivity/specificity of Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire (APSQ) in both male and female elite athletes, also assess internal consistency convergent/divergent validity, determine discriminative validity relative to current injury status.Data were provided by 1093 athletes (males n=1007; females n=84). Scale reliability values benchmarked against validated measures general psychological distress well-being. ROC curve analysis determined a range optimal severity...
The use of video to assist professional sporting bodies with the diagnosis sport-related concussion (SRC) has been well established; however, there little consistency across codes regards which signs should be used, and definitions each these signs.The aims this study were develop a consensus for considered most useful in identification possible SRC definition codes.A brief questionnaire was used assess concussion. Consensus defined as >90% agreement by respondents. Existing from individual...

Developing context-specific, evidence-informed, and implementable injury-prevention programs is challenging. Women playing in the elite Australian Football League for are at high risk of serious knee injuries, no specific program exists. The objective study was to describe collaborative process used create a context-specific program. A previously intervention-development modified incorporate partnership with sport's governing organization focus on engaging implementers. Reach Effectiveness...
Video review has become an important tool in professional sporting codes to help sideline identification and management of players with a potential concussion.To assess current practices related video concussion sports internationally, compare protocols diagnostic criteria used identify manage concussions.Current guidelines from national international were reviewed. Specific definitions signs associated compared between codes. Rules regulations adopted across the for processes around also...
Abstract The Berlin statement on sport-related concussion was published in 2017 using evidence-based recommendations. We aimed to examine (1) the implementation of, distribution and education based recommendations, development of sport-specific protocols/guidelines among professional elite sports, (2) guidelines at community level, (3) translation into different languages, (4) research activities. Senior medical advisers chief officers from Australian Football League, All Japan Judo...
To determine whether specific injury measures were associated with team performance in the Australian Football League (AFL).
This research aims to identify design attributes of a new generation running shoe by relating key performance parameters the requirements specific user group. paper considers first phase research, comprising group profiling, as well selection and subjective quantification appropriate variables for targeted groups. Three groups have been defined, with functional identified prioritised each. Using this information it has possible form basis specification that should be best suited needs...
Exposure to head acceleration events (HAEs) has been associated with player sex, position, and experience in North American football, ice hockey, lacrosse. Little is known of these factors professional Australian football. Video analysis allows HAE verification characterization important determinants injury.To characterize verified HAEs the nonhelmeted contact sport football investigate association frequency magnitude.Descriptive epidemiology study.Professional players wore a accelerometer...
Considerable anecdotal evidence suggests that snowboarders relate the perceived ‘feel’ of a snowboard to its on‐snow performance. Snowboard manufacturers spend significant amounts time and money trialling new designs, relying heavily on feedback professional riders optimise board A systematic user‐centred design procedure could provide intelligence required alleviate inefficiencies ambiguities associated with trial error approach, resulting in greater probability meeting customer...
Previous research has indicated that the flex pattern and camber of a snowboard are crucial to its perceived “feel”, or physical psychological feedback given rider whilst snowboarding. These features primary cause variation in performance for different riding styles. Consequently, this article deals with identification stiffness characteristics freestyle, freeride versatile test boards, their statistical correlation comprehensive list qualitative feel-based requirements. It been determined...
Injury surveillance has been used to quantify the scope of injury burden in Australian football. However, deeper statistical analyses are required identify major factors that contribute risk and understand how these patterns change over time.To compare Football League (AFL) incidence, severity, prevalence, recurrence by setting, site, time span from 1997 2016.Descriptive epidemiology study.A total 15,911 injuries medical illnesses recorded team staff at each club were obtained AFL's system...
Introduction: Accurate interpretation of activity profile data requires an understanding the variables influencing player movement during matches. Methods: Over 65,000 stints (player rotations) from all 207 matches 2018 Australian Football League (AFL) season were evaluated. The relative including total distance per minute (TD), high-speed running (HSR) and Player LoadTM (PL) was determined for each stint analysed against a range match-related, player-related environment-related predictor...
A new model to calculate the key snowboard properties of bending and torsional stiffness has been developed. The code allows any composite sandwich structure be evaluated for use within a snowboard, including consideration fabric architecture on micro level. geometric unit-cell approach was utilised predict overall fibre volume fraction, average tow undulation areal weight ten common configurations. Elastic layers are calculated using Hashin's Cylinder Model, together with coordinate...
Snowboarding is a weather‐dependent sport, where riders may be exposed to considerable changes in on‐snow temperature within short period of time. Anecdotal evidence indicates that such affect snowboard performance. The aim this study was determine the effect variations on stiffness and camber properties, which have been determined previous research strongly influence feel response. In order examine phenomenon greater detail, three snowboards possessing different composite structures were...
Video surveillance and detection of players with visible signs concussion by experienced medical staff facilitates rapid on-field screening suspected in professional sports. This method, however has not been validated community sports where video footage is unavailable. study aimed to explore the utility identify decrements performance on measures. In this observational prospective cohort study, personnel basic training observed live matches across a season (60 matches) male female...

An applied prediction code has been developed to calculate the thermo-mechanical properties of sandwich composites utilizing common fabric configurations. A well-established unit-cell approach was employed model layer geometry. Effective elastic were determined using Hashin's cylinder model, together with coordinate transformations and volumetric averaging methods. Two-dimensional laminate theory mechanical resulting composite structure, allowing for variable width thickness geometry in...
