“…S&C coaches generally work with healthy athletes to prepare them for the physical demands of their sport. They incorporate specific exercises into their training programmes to minimise the risk of injury (prehabilitation; Meir et al, 2007). If an athlete is injured, health professionals such as physiotherapists will rehabilitate them.…”

Strength and conditioning (S&C) coaches may collaborate with physiotherapists in athlete rehabilitation, but their role has not been documented. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify their role through the perspectives of physiotherapists and S&C coaches. The researchers conducted semi-structured interviews in New Zealand with four physiotherapists and five S&C coaches, including one who had previously been a physiotherapist. Thematic analysis identified 13 themes analysed in four categories: current role (teamwork with the rehabilitation team, level of involvement, and physical roles), proposed role (teamwork with the rehabilitation team, level of involvement, and physical roles), variables (rehabilitation team structure, governance, relationships in the rehabilitation team, and the athlete), and significance (positive and negative). Currently, most S&C coaches have a small role in providing performance training at the end of rehabilitation. Participants thought they should be involved earlier, but poor communication and collaboration with health professionals reduce their role. They proposed that S&C coaches should be somewhat involved following a health professional's diagnosis, increasing their involvement as athlete function improves and the physiotherapist's role decreases. Participants agreed that this role should be flexible and account for each clinical context.

Purpose. the purpose of the investigation was to determine the injuries and injury prevention strategies in high school rugby union players, as reported by the coaches. Methods. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted where participants (from fee-paying and no-fee-paying schools) were required to complete an electronically based questionnaire focusing specifically on injuries and injury prevention strategies in male high school level rugby players. Results. the results indicated that the most common injured position was the back row, while 60% of all injuries were to the shoulder region. Furthermore, while the majority (75%) of coaches did record injury statistics, only a limited number implemented injury prevention strategies (mainly from fee-paying schools). the most common injury prevention tool reported was 'strengthening target areas'. Conclusions. It was concluded that all schools should monitor injuries and implement some form of strength and conditioning program to reduce the risk of player injury. Furthermore, it was noted that for this to occur, the education of the coach as well as the player was highly important.
