Abstract:

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury continues to present with varying gender disparity by sport as more recently evidenced by high injury rates in the Australian Football League – Women’s (AFLW). Prevalent in many sports is the performance of sidestepping tasks in situations of high spatial and temporal constraints that could be termed a ‘worst-case scenario’ regarding the ACL injury. However, there has been inconclusive evidence if fatigue is an additional contributor to risk of ACL injury. The purpose of this thesis was three fold: (1) to examine if a team sport conditioning circuit

The studies presented in this dissertation investigated biomechanical factors associated with sports-related brain injuries on the field and in the laboratory. In the first study, head impact exposure in youth football was observed using a helmet mounted accelerometer system to measure head kinematics. The results suggest that restriction on contact in practice at the youth level can translate into reduced head impact exposure over the course of a season.

Background: Olympic combat sports are commonly considered dangerous, however injury rates for these sports are not well understood. Isolated studies in combat sports have investigated injury, however these are mainly during competition, and therefore are unlikely to include significant or persistent injury which prevents athletes competing and participating in data collection. This thesis was undertaken as a series of linked studies, to provide further detail into the types, mechanisms and aetiology of injuries in combat sports.

The aim was to understand how intrinsic characteristics of novice runners, namely body composition, strength and flexibility, influence running biomechanics and ultimately injury outcome, and whether footwear structure effects this relationship.

Background: The association of psychological factors with athletic performance and proneness to injury and illness has been widely recognised as an integral part of athletic preparation, treatment and rehabilitation. The exact nature of this association is still not clear, but it can be hypothesised that better mental health leads to better performance, less injuries and illness and more rapid recovery. Psychological distress is a strong predictor of injury, illness and poor performance, but inherent personality traits have failed to show a constant association with these parameters. Advances
