Abstract:
ObjectivesTo determine (1) the prevalence of ankle osteoarthritis (OA) among former professional football and rugby players, (2) assess the association between ankle injuries or ankle surgeries with ankle OA, and (3) compare the mental and physical quality of life (QoL) between former professional football and rugby players with and without OA.MethodsWe conducted a questionnaire-based observational study with a cross-sectional design. Former professional football and rugby players were recruited by the Football Players Worldwide and the International Rugby Players. Information concerning ankle OA, sustained ankle injuries and ankle surgeries was gathered (medical record or most recent medical professional). Health-related QoL was assessed using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical and mental health scores.ResultsOverall, 553 former professional football (n=401) and rugby (n=152) players were enrolled in the study (response rate of 56%). Ankle OA prevalence among former professional football and rugby players was 9.2% and 4.6%, respectively. Football players were more likely to suffer from ankle OA following every ankle injury and/or surgery. Football and rugby players with ankle OA had similar PROMIS physical and mental health scores to the norm for the general population.ConclusionFormer professional football and rugby players had higher ankle OA prevalence than the general population (3.4%). Football players are more likely to suffer from ankle OA following every ankle injury and/or surgery. No clinically relevant difference was seen for physical or mental health-related QoL among football and rugby players. Preventive measures for ankle injuries are recommended.

Abstract:
ObjectiveThe study examined the effects tackling style has on forces translated to the brain in football and rugby.BackgroundTackling is linked to concussion due to high or repetitive impact forces. A small number of NFL teams are incorporating the rugby tackle mechanics due to keeping the head out of the way. Rugby style tackle use is increasing in football.Design/MethodsA convenient sample of 30 male football and rugby participants from two universities participated in this observational study. 20 football participants (20 ± 1.61 YO, 71.63 ± 2.71 in, 210.84 ± 45.52 lbs.) had impact sensors placed in the helmet (CUE™ Sports Sensor, Athlete Intelligence, Kirkland, WA) and 10 rugby participants (20.22 ± 3.31 YO, 70.78 ± 2.11 in, 211.78 ± 40.62 lbs.) were fitted with an instrumented mouthguard (VECTOR™ Sports Sensor, Athlete Intelligence, Kirkland, WA) during their respective spring seasons. Participants practiced without intervention. Devices were returned to researchers after activity, and the data was uploaded. Welch’s ANOVA with a Games-Howell post-hoc analyzed the data with significance set at 0.05.ResultsFootball participants tallied 3921 impacts over the course of 12 practices, compared to 1868 impacts over 9 practices received by rugby participants. Welch’s ANOVA determined that there is a difference in the frequency of impacts between football and rugby participants (Welch’s F (1, 4119.84) = 29.41, p < 0.001). Football participants encountered linear impacts at 62.95 ± 36.57g. Rugby participants sustained impacts 20.59 ± 15.79g. The Welch’s ANOVA determined a difference in impact force between the football and rugby participants exists (Welch’s F (1, 5741.884) = 3780.385, p < 0.001).ConclusionsImpact frequency appears to be lower in rugby athletes than football athletes during spring ball. Also, the average impact force appears to be less in rugby athletes. The use of a rugby-style tackle generated lower impact forces in athletes when contact occurs.

Abstract:
Si le rugby fait son apparition en Corse de manière éphémère entre 1904 et 1924, il est d’abord pratiqué par des membres de la diaspora sur le continent. Les vrais débuts du rugby corse commencent au début des années 1960 mais sont entravés par la Fédération française de rugby (FFR) qui refuse de faire un effort financier pour aider les clubs insulaires à participer au championnat de France. À tel point qu’une grande partie des clubs corses décident de passer au XIII dont la fédération se montre beaucoup plus accueillante. La situation perdure jusqu’au milieu des années 1980 quand la FFR lance une opération séduction pour imposer le rugby comme sport identitaire de l’île y compris devant le football. Si des matchs internationaux sont même disputés en Corse, le projet n’a pas vraiment réussi.

Abstract:
Le rugby n’a eu sa Coupe du monde que 47 ans après le football. Ce retard signale une volonté de rester tout d’abord dans l’entre-soi des pays britanniques, puis du Commonwealth. Toutefois, afin de faire vivre les rugby unions, leurs dirigeants n’ont pas hésité à organiser des tournées rémunératrices soutenues notamment par les nations de l’hémisphère sud. Exclus du Tournoi des cinq nations au début des années 1930, les rugbymen français promeuvent un internationalisme sportif non exclusif. À partir du lendemain de la Seconde Guerre, les réticences nourries à l’égard du principe d’une Coupe du monde de rugby commencent à tomber du côté britannique. L’exemple du succès de la compétition mondiale de football fait finalement tomber les dernières oppositions dans la première moitié des années 1980.

Abstract:
Le rugby a représenté un aspect non-négligeable des relations franco-britanniques tout au long du vingtième siècle. Ces relations sportives n’ont pas été de tout repos et ont porté les préjugés construits depuis la fin du xviiie siècle par les guerres entre les deux nations. Dès les années 1910-1920, les rugby unions britanniques font valoir de nombreux griefs à l’égard du rugby français. Les rugbymen français seraient soumis à leurs passions, brutaux et, surtout, pratiqueraient de manière presque ouverte le professionnalisme. Ces accusations provoquent l’éviction du quinze de France du Tournoi des Cinq nations en 1931. L’une des conséquences de cette exclusion est le développement du rugby à XIII en France. Malgré le retour des Bleus dans le Tournoi en 1947, les préjugés ont la vie dure mais le dirigeant français René Crabos évite habilement une nouvelle rupture. Désormais, les relations franco-britanniques en matière de rugby sont caractérisées par le déni et le partage d’intérêts bien compris.

Cet article s’interroge sur l’oubli dont est victime la pratique du rugby dans la France de l’Ouest. Les recherches menées dans le cadre d’une thèse d’histoire montrent la présence de nombreuses équipes avant la Grande Guerre. La concurrence du football, les difficultés financières et l’éloignement contribuent à fragiliser et à provoquer la disparition de plusieurs clubs. Toutefois, le rugby se maintient dans certaines villes et reste un sport populaire. L’historiographie du rugby a le plus souvent délaissé cet espace considérant que ce sport n’y avait pas été implanté ou que la greffe britannique y avait échoué. Il s’agit également de comprendre les raisons de l’échec de la mémoire de la pratique du rugby dans la France de l’Ouest.

Abstract:
Dans les années 1930, les entraîneurs français ont joué un rôle important dans le développement du rugby italien avec notamment Julien Saby qui devient l’entraîneur des Amatori Milano et de l’équipe nationale. Les tensions internationales mettent fin à partir de 1938 à ce magistère qui reprend à partir des années 1950. Saby revient en Italie à Rovigo et forme de nombreux joueurs et entraîneurs italiens autour d’un rugby de conquête et de possession. Dans les années 1970, Pierre Villepreux devient un nouveau maestro d’oltrealpe autour d’un rugby de mouvement et de liberté. Saby comme Villepreux veulent ouvrir une voie italienne du rugby. D’autres entraîneurs français font fructifier leur héritage comme Georges Coste, Pierre Berbizier, Jacques Brunel même si l’Italie se tourne aussi vers des entraîneurs de l’hémisphère sud. Ils contribuent à la participation des Azzurri au Tournoi des Six Nation.

Depuis la première moitié du vingtième siècle, les dirigeants du rugby à XV ont cherché à empêcher l’essor du XIII en l’accusant d’être un faux rugby et de corrompre la jeunesse. Un discours différent des quinzistes britanniques qui sont passés d’un mépris de classe pour les rugbymen ouvriers à un pragmatisme attentif au caractère dynamique et novateur du rugby à XIII. Malgré son interdiction sous Vichy et la spoliation des biens de sa fédération, le XIII a eu ses heures de gloire notamment dans les années cinquante. Un certain nombre de spécialistes du jeu à quinze ont su reconnaître les qualités techniques des treizistes. Depuis vingt ans, l’évolution du rugby à XV vers un jeu plus dynamique et technique doit beaucoup à des techniciens venus du XIII comme Andy Farrell pour l’équipe d’Irlande et Shaun Edwards pour les Bleus.

Abstract:
Catalan rugby reached the high point of its young and successful history when became one of the founding nations of the International Amateur Rugby Federation (FIRA) and started competing at international level as an autonomous rugby nation. Towards the end 1921 rugby settled in Catalonia penetrating through sports such as football, athletics, boxing and swimming and owing much to French expatriates residing in Barcelona or Catalan citizens who had lived in France. In 1923 the Catalan Football Rugby Union was created due to the aroused need for organized competitions. With this institutionalisation and organisational structure began a flourishing period for the clubs, culminating in 1929 at the Barcelona International Exhibition where rugby was played in front of 60.000 spectators. In spite of this achievement, rugby remained a minority sport with restricted geographical appeal, with a group faithful and loyal followers.

Le premier match de rugby sur la pelouse de Colombes est disputé en 1908 par le Racing Club de France. Les dirigeants du club profitent des Jeux de 1924 pour construire une vaste enceinte qu’ils utiliseront toutefois de manière irrégulière pour les matchs de leur équipe de rugby. Du fait de l’éloignement de Paris, ils préfèrent notamment le stade Jean Bouin et, aujourd’hui, pour les rencontres du Racing 92, la Paris Défense Arena. En revanche, Colombes est le stade de l’équipe de France de rugby qui y gagne son premier match du Tournoi des Cinq Nations. Entre 1924 et 1972, les Bleus y disputent même l’essentiel de leurs rencontres, y battent pour la première fois les All Blacks (1954), gagnent leur premier Tournoi (1959) et leur premier grand chelem (1968). Toutefois, si les retransmissions télévisées en font un cadre familier des amateurs de rugby, leurs matchs remplissent rarement tout à fait la vaste enceinte de Colombes.

Objective. The purpose of this study was to compare the nature and proportion of total injuries occurring at Stellenbosch Rugby Football Club in Stellenbosch, South Africa, between the years 1973 - 1975 and 2003 - 2005. Design. Retrospective, descriptive study. Main outcome measures. Injured rugby players from the Stellenbosch Rugby Football Club from the different time periods were included in the study. Results from the 1973 - 1975 time period were obtained from two previously published articles (Roy, 1974; Van Heerden, 1976), while data from the 2003 - 2005 time period were available through the Stellenbosch University Rugby Injury Database. Results. An increase in the proportion of head and facial injuries from 1973 - 1975 (21%) to 2003 - 2005 (42%) was found as well as a doubling in the proportion of concussions between the two time periods (12% - 23%). There was an overall decrease in total injuries between the two time periods. Conclusion. The findings highlight the high and increased proportion of head and facial injuries in the game of rugby at the Stellenbosch Rugby Football Club. This is a matter that should be further investigated. South African Journal of Sports Medicine Vol. 19 (5) 2007: pp. 125-128

AbstractIntroductionThe study aims were to demonstrate rates, level, and time taken to RTP in elite sports after ACL reconstruction (ACL-R) and compare football and rugby.MethodsA retrospective review of a consecutive series of ACL-R between 2005 and 2019 was undertaken. Patients were included if they were elite athletes and were a minimum of 2 years post primary autograft ACL-R. The outcomes measured were return to play (RTP), (defined as participation in a professional match or in national/ international level amateur competition), time to RTP after surgery, and RTP level (Tegner score).ResultsThree hundred and ninety four elite athletes with 420 ACL-Rs (235 in footballers, 125 in rugby players and 60 in other sports) were included. 95.7% of all athletes returned to competition at a mean of 10.3 months after ACL-R with 90.1% at the same / higher level. There was no difference in RTP rates between rugby and football. Rugby players RTP faster than footballers (9.6 vs 10.6 months, (p=0.027). Overall re-rupture rate within 2 years was 6.4% but not significantly different between football (8.1%) and rugby (7.2%).Footballers were more likely to rupture their ACL during jumping / landing manoeuvres and to receive a PT graft than rugby players. There were no significant differences between football and rugby regarding patient characteristics, intraoperative findings and re-operation rates.ConclusionOver 95% of all elite athletes RTP after primary ACL-R with 90% able to play at the same level. Rugby players RTP significantly faster than footballers.

L’histoire du rugby français est aussi celle d’entraîneurs-théoriciens qui ont façonné le jeu jusqu’à notre époque. Loin d’être le produit d’une pensée individuelle et originale, les idées des penseurs du rugby français sont en fait le résultat d’échanges et de transmission depuis l’entre-deux-guerres. Les conceptions de Julien Saby constituent un maillon important de ces chaînes produisant une forme d’hybridation culturelle entre influence britannique, culture sportive française et apostolat rugbystique en Italie. Le milieu des professeurs d’éducation physique et sportive a été particulièrement réceptif à ces échanges comme en témoigne la naissance du grand Béziers de Raoul Barrière ou l’importance d’un René Deleplace dans le développement d’un rugby scolaire, tous deux étant des disciples de Julien Saby.

ObjectiveThe objective of this systematic review was to explore the incidence of lower limb musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries sustained by rugby union, rugby league, soccer, Australian Rules and Gaelic football players under 18 years. The review sought to identify the mechanisms and types of injury sustained and to compare between sports.DesignThis systematic review focused on the incidence of lower limb injury in adolescent team sports that involved running and kicking a ball. A literature search of studies published prior to January 2020 was conducted using SportDiscus, Medline and PubMed databases. The Standard Quality Assessment Criteria appraisal tool was used to assess the quality of each article included in the review. Two or more authors independently reviewed all papers.ResultsSixteen papers met the inclusion criteria; prospective cohort (N=14), retrospective (n=1) and longitudinal (n=1). These studies investigated injuries in rugby union and rugby league (n=10), football (soccer) (n=3), Australian Rules (n=2) and Gaelic football (n=1). There were a total of 55 882 participants, aged 7–19 years old, who reported 6525 injuries. The type, site and mechanisms of injury differed across sports.SummaryLower limb injuries were common in adolescent rugby, soccer, Gaelic football and Australian Rules football players, however these studies may not fully reflect the true injury burden where recurrent and overuse injuries have not been considered. There were differences between sports in the mechanisms, types and severity of injury.

ObjectivesTo provide epidemiological data and related costs for sport-related injuries of five sporting codes (cricket, netball, rugby league, rugby union and football) in New Zealand for moderate-to-serious and serious injury claims.MethodsA retrospective analytical review using detailed descriptive epidemiological data obtained from the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) for 2012–2016.ResultsOver the 5 years of study data, rugby union recorded the most moderate-to-serious injury entitlement claims (25 226) and costs (New Zealand dollars (NZD$)267 359 440 (£139 084 749)) resulting in the highest mean cost (NZD$10 484 (£5454)) per moderate-to-serious injury entitlement claim. Rugby union recorded more serious injury entitlement claims (n=454) than cricket (t(4)=−66.6; P<0.0001); netball (t(4)=−45.1; P<0.0001); rugby league (t(4)=−61.4; P<0.0001) and football (t(4)=66.6; P<0.0001) for 2012–2016. There was a twofold increase in the number of female moderate-to-serious injury entitlement claims for football (RR 2.6 (95%CI 2.2 to 2.9); P<0.0001) compared with cricket, and a threefold increase when compared with rugby union (risk ratio (RR) 3.1 (95%CI 2.9 to 3.3); P<0.0001). Moderate-to-serious concussion claims increased between 2012 and 2016 for netball (RR 3.7 (95%CI 1.9 to 7.1); P<0.0001), rugby union (RR 2.0 (95% CI 1.6 to 2.4); P<0.0001) and football (RR 2.3 (95%CI 1.6 to 3.2); P<0.0001). Nearly a quarter of moderate-to-serious entitlement claims (23%) and costs (24%) were to participants aged 35 years or older.ConclusionsRugby union and rugby league have the highest total number and costs associated with injury. Accurate sport exposure data are needed to enable injury risk calculations.

Le rugby est le sport collectif que l’on a sans doute le plus assimilé à la guerre. Les rugbymen français ont payé un lourd tribut pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Dès les années du conflit les clubs ont lancé des souscriptions pour édifier des monuments funéraires mêlant attributs militaires et sportifs. Au son des fanfares, leur inauguration mobilise les notabilités politiques et la communauté sportive. La célébration des disparus se fait aussi par l’organisation de matchs de rugby, des banquets au cours desquels les adversaires d’hier se réconcilient. Le culte mémoriel des rugbymen est aussi célébré dans le monde anglosaxon à l’image de Dave Gallaher, premier capitaine des All Blacks mort à Passchendaele. Le rugby à XV n’eut pas l’exclusivité de ces célébrations mémorielles que l’on retrouve dans le XIII et jusque dans le football australien.

Abstract:
South Africans see themselves as a nation that loves sport, but with the World Cup in football imminent, there appears to be a sense of exhaustion both in the media and among the population. One important reason is that football does not dominate the public imagination of sport, as cricket and rugby do. The game is played and loved in the black townships, the fortunes of African football-playing nations are followed devotedly, and players such as Didier Drogba have a larger-than-life standing in the country. But football has not become a metaphor for the nation, as rugby and cricket have become. Whether this reflects a racial affiliation alone is hard to get at, because the local team, Bafana (which could be genially translated as “the boys”), are eighty-eighth in the FIFA rankings, without a ghost of a chance of winning the Cup, while at rugby and cricket, South Africa are world beaters.

Le rugby à XIII a eu une histoire difficile sur le sol français en raison de son professionnalisme ouvert et du combat livré contre lui par le XV. L’exemple du Rugby Club albigeois plusieurs fois champion de France et dont les documents comptables sont conservés aux archives départementales du Tarn permet de comprendre comment ce rugby professionnel fonctionne à l’issue de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L’essentiel des recettes provient sans surprise de la billetterie et sert surtout à payer le salaire de l’entraîneur et les primes et indemnités des joueurs qui ont aussi un métier. Le recrutement est local et les émoluments versés à l’effectif distinguent peu de vedettes, à l’exception du demi d’ouverture Charles Galaup qui devient en 1972 le conseiller technique du rival quinziste local, le Sporting club albigeois. Outre cette défection, le club albigeois du XIII aura eu à subir l’ostracisme d’une partie de la presse locale notamment la Dépêche du Midi.

Intense physical efforts performed at maximal or near-maximal speeds are important for successful of team-sport performance. The aim of our paper is to find out if are any differences between female football players and female 7th rugby players in relation with their body mass index. 26 female athletes (rugby N=12; football N=14), with a mean age 20.56±3.31 years participated in this study. Certain anthropometric measurements as height and weight and Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test for anaerobic performance were conducted. On the base of measurements we found out the fatigue index.Statistical analyses relieved no statistical differences for fatigue index between groups, and Pearson moment revealed a higher correlation between fatigue index and anthropometrics (height and weight). In conclusion, fatigue index depends on specific sports (team, individual), gender and not in the end on height and weight.Keywords: Football,rugby 7th; female, fatigue, height, weight.

Abstract:
This article examines the model established by the New Zealand Rugby Football Union Inc (NZRFU) to deal with acts of violence on the rugby field. The interface between sport and the law becomes relevant when society perceives sportsfield violence as going beyond acceptable boundaries. Identifying where these boundaries lie is problematic given the traditional reluctance of both sports administrators and the courts to invoke criminal sanctions for violence in sport. Part II examines violence in rugby, the limits to the consent defence, New Zealand case law on rugby violence and the likelihood of increased court action. It looks at the debate surrounding the appropriateness of internal disciplinary tribunals for sportsfield violence, and explores the criteria sports organisations must meet to avoid criminal prosecution of their players or judicial review of their internal disciplinary decisions. Part III outlines the establishment of NZRFU procedures to deal with violence in rugby and how they operate at local, national and international levels. In Part IV, the main features of the NZRFU's judicial disciplinary procedures are reviewed. It concludes that the NZRFU has created an effective and fair set of disciplinary rules to deal with violence in rugby, which has been extended to international competitions. However, there are some problems in its application. It will be suggested that changes could be made to the NZRFU's internal disciplinary procedures to improve consistency and independence and ultimately demonstrate to the rugby community, the courts and the public that violence in rugby is decreasing.

Abstract:
Rugby union football requires muscular strength and endurance, as well as aerobic endurance. Creatine supplementation may enhance muscular performance, but it is unclear if it would interfere with aerobic endurance during running because of increased body mass. The purpose of this study was to determine if creatine supplementation during 8 weeks of a season of rugby union football can increase muscular performance, without negatively affecting aerobic endurance. Rugby union football players were randomized to receive 0.1 g·kg–1·d–1 creatine monohydrate (n = 9) or placebo (n = 9) during 8 weeks of the rugby season. Players practiced twice per week for approximately 2 h per session and played one 80 min game per week. Before and after the 8 weeks, players were measured for body composition (air displacement plethysmography), muscular endurance (number of repetitions at 75% of one repetition maximum (1 RM) for bench press and leg press), and aerobic endurance (Leger shuttle-run test with 1 min stages of progressively increasing speed). There were time main effects for body mass (–0.7 ± 0.4 kg; p = 0.05), fat mass (–1.9 ± 0.8 kg; p < 0.05), and a trend for an increase in lean tissue mass (+1.2 ± 0.5 kg; p = 0.07), with no differences between groups. The group receiving creatine supplementation had a greater increase in the number of repetitions for combined bench press and leg press tests compared with the placebo group (+5.8 ± 1.4 vs. +0.9 ± 2.0 repetitions; p < 0.05). There were no changes in either group for aerobic endurance. Creatine supplementation during a rugby union football season is effective for increasing muscular endurance, but has no effect on body composition or aerobic endurance.

Abstract:
Rugby union is the fastest growing sport in the USA, and its growth is only expected to continue to climb with the approaching 2023 Rugby World Cup. Rugby union carries risk for general and sport-specific injury. Tackles and high-impact collisions are a regular component of the game, and although often compared to American football, rugby union carries a unique pattern of injuries, with certain injuries occurring at a significantly higher rate. This review is aimed at familiarizing our orthopaedic workforce to the sport of rugby union and the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of the rugby union athlete. Injury prevention strategies guided by epidemiology, risk factors, and mechanisms of injury in rugby union athletes are critical.

Abstract:
L’histoire du rugby français ne se résume pas au Sud-Ouest de l’Hexagone. Par le jeu des mutations de professeurs d’éducation physique et sportive méridionaux vers les départements du Pas-de-Calais et du Nord, le ballon ovale a aussi gagné des terres septentrionales. À partir de la fin des années 1950, l’action résolue d’enseignants d’éducation physique et entraîneurs de rugby comme René Deleplace ou Alain et Jean-Louis Charlet, le XV s’implante notamment à Arras autant à l’école que dans les clubs. Forts de ses joueurs enseignants d’origine méridionale, l’ASPTT Arras accède même en première division dans les années 1970. Toutefois, la diffusion reste inégale et il n’est pas aisé jusqu’à aujourd’hui de faire face à l’hégémonie du football.

Abstract:
In those early days, some sports were played as a variation of another. Rugby was one of the sports which was played as a variation of football. Codification of rugby rules took place only in the middle 1800 century and hence, participants of rugby games were a mixture of players from other sports such as tennis and cricket. Also, there was no formal rugby association or players with Singapore representation. The players that played for Singapore were members of the SCC and employees of the BEIC. Back then, they competed in tournaments against the Malayan states and other teams.

Abstract:
The idea that war was a football match writ large was commonly expressed in Britain during the First World War. This article looks at the attitudes and actions of the English Rugby Football Union and its supporters before, during, and after the First World War to examine how such beliefs were utilized by sports organizations and the impact they had on the military and on society as a whole. Rugby union football was viewed both by its supporters and general observers alike as the most enthusiastic and committed sporting supporter of the war effort; the article explores rugby's overtly ideological stance as a means of shedding light on broader discussions about the cultural impact of the war, such as in the works of Paul Fussell and Jay Winter, and about the continued survival of traditional and Edwardian ideas of patriotism among the English middle classes in the immediate post-war period.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE Direct impact with the head and the inertial loading of the head have been postulated as major mechanisms of head-related injuries, such as concussion. METHODS This descriptive observational study was conducted to quantify the head impact acceleration characteristics in under-9-year-old junior rugby union players in New Zealand. The impact magnitude, frequency, and location were collected with a wireless head impact sensor that was worn by 14 junior rugby players who participated in 4 matches. RESULTS A total of 721 impacts > 10g were recorded. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) number of impacts per player was 46 (IQR 37–58), resulting in 10 (IQR 4–18) impacts to the head per player per match. The median impact magnitudes recorded were 15g (IQR 12g–21g) for linear acceleration and 2296 rad/sec2 (IQR 1352–4152 rad/sec2) for rotational acceleration. CONCLUSIONS There were 121 impacts (16.8%) above the rotational injury risk limit and 1 (0.1%) impact above the linear injury risk limit. The acceleration magnitude and number of head impacts in junior rugby union players were higher than those previously reported in similar age-group sports participants. The median linear acceleration for the under-9-year-old rugby players were similar to 7- to 8-year-old American football players, but lower than 9- to 12-year-old youth American football players. The median rotational accelerations measured were higher than the median and 95th percentiles in youth, high school, and collegiate American football players.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency, magnitude, and distribution of head impacts sustained by players in a junior rugby league over a season of matches. METHODS The authors performed a prospective cohort analysis of impact magnitude, frequency, and distribution on data collected with instrumented XPatches worn behind the ear of players in an “under-11” junior rugby league team (players under 11 years old). RESULTS A total of 1977 impacts were recorded. Over the course of the study, players sustained an average of 116 impacts (average of 13 impacts per player per match). The measured linear acceleration ranged from 10g to 123g (mean 22g, median 16g, and 95th percentile 57g). The rotational acceleration ranged from 89 rad/sec2 to 22,928 rad/sec2 (mean 4041 rad/sec2, median 2773 rad/sec2, and 95th percentile 11,384 rad/sec2). CONCLUSIONS The level of impact severity based on the magnitude of impacts for linear and rotational accelerations recorded was similar to the impacts reported in studies of American junior and high school football, collegiate football, and youth ice hockey players, but the players in the rugby league cohort were younger, had less body mass, and played at a slower speed than the American players. Junior rugby league players are required to tackle the player to the ground and use a different tackle technique than that used in American football, likely increasing the rotational accelerations recorded at the head.
