“…This study high lighted an injury prevalence ranging from 55% at club level to 84% amongst national players with an injury rate of 1.9 injuries per player over one netball season. This injury rate is higher (1.1) than that compared to the study by Hume and Steele (2000) but lower (2.6) than the study by McManus, Stevenson and Finch (2006).…”

“…Netball is considered to be associated with a relatively high rate of non-contact injuries. During tournament games 238 injuries were observed per 1000 playing hours (Hume & Steele, 2000), Saunders and Otago (2009) further documented from three seasons of competition that injury rates range from 66.7 to 71.4 per 1000 participants. These analyses have shown that the majority of injuries are chronic in nature and occur predominantly in the lower extremities (McManus, Stevenson, & Finch, 2006).…”

“…These analyses have shown that the majority of injuries are chronic in nature and occur predominantly in the lower extremities (McManus, Stevenson, & Finch, 2006). The knee has been shown to be the most commonly injured musculoskeletal structure in netball players, accounting for 24% of total injuries (Hopper, 1997;Hume & Steele, 2000). * * Corresponding author.…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of a prophylactic knee brace on knee joint kinetics and kinematics in netball specific movements. DesignRepeated measures; Setting: Laboratory; Participants: Twenty university first team level female netball players. Outcome measurementsParticipants performed three movements, run, cut and vertical jump under two conditions (brace and no-brace). 3-D knee joint kinetics and kinematics were measured using an eight-camera motion analysis system. Knee joint kinetics and kinematics were examined using 2 × 3 repeated measures ANOVA whilst the subjective ratings of comfort and stability were investigated using chi-squared tests. ResultsThe results showed no differences (p > 0.05) in knee joint kinetics. However the internal/external rotation range of motion was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced when wearing the brace in all movements. The subjective ratings of stability revealed that netballers felt that the knee brace improved knee stability in all movements. ConclusionsFurther study is required to determine whether reductions in transverse plane knee range of motion serve to attenuate the risk from injury in netballers.

“…Hopper (1997) found that 24% of netball competitors were shown to sustain an injury during the course of a netball tournament. Furthermore, during a three day tournament, Hume and Steele (2000) documented that 238 injuries were observed per 1000 playing hours. More recent evidence obtained from three seasons of league competition has documented injury rates that range from 66.7À71.4 per 1000 participants (Saunders & Otago, 2009).…”

The effects of sport-specific and minimalist footwear on the kinetics and kinematics of three netball-specific movements

et al. 2014

Netball is associated with a high frequency of chronic injuries. There is currently a trend towards the utilisation of minimalist footwear in netball players in lieu of traditional netball trainers. The aim of the current investigation was to examine the influence of netball-specific and minimalist footwear on the kinetics and three-dimensional (3-D) kinematics of three sport specific movements. Twelve female netballers performed three movements, run, cut and vertical jump, whilst wearing a conventional netball trainer and also a minimalist trainer. 3-D kinematics of the lower extremities were measured using an eight-camera motion analysis system alongside kinetic information which was obtained using a force platform. Kinetic/3-D kinematic differences between movements wearing different footwear were examined using paired t-tests. The kinetic analysis revealed that impact parameters were significantly greater in the minimalist footwear in comparison to the netball shoe for all three movements. In addition peak ankle eversion was shown to be significantly greater in the minimalist footwear in the running movement condition. The current study therefore suggests that the utilisation of minimalist footwear for netball training/performance may place netballers at increased risk from chronic injuries based on which a continued utilisation of netball-specific footwear may be recommended.
