The incidence and propensity of head acceleration events in a season of men's and women's english elite-level club rugby union matches
Key Points
Head acceleration event (HAE) mitigation strategies are a priority for rugby union to ensure brain health, in addition to player welfare, is optimised.
HAE incidence and propensity over a range of different thresholds have been reported in elite-level men`s and women`s rugby union for all positional groups (i.e. front row, second row, back row, half backs, centres, back three).
Positional-specific differences in HAE incidence and propensity exist and should be considered in any future HAE mitigation strategies.
