Risk factors for concussion in under 18, under 22, and professional men's rugby union: A video analysis of 14,809 tackles.
Key Points
• This video analysis study assessed 14,809 tackles to identify risk factors for concussions.
• Although the incidence rate of concussion was higher in professional rugby players, high school players tended to employ more head-in-front tackles that were highly associated with the risk of concussion.
• A high-risk tackle situation was predicted when a professional player employed a head-in-front tackle to the lower extremities of the ball carrier in side-on tackle situations, suggesting that lowering tackle height does not necessarily reduce injury risk.
