“…Other types of injuries in volleyball are related to the athletic gesture during the spike and are linked to the spine, such as muscle strains of the back, intervertebral disc injuries, and spondylosis [1]. Concussion of the head is a not-so-common type of injury that could happen by crushing into the advertisement panels surrounding the court after defending a rival spike, or maybe they are associated with ball-to-head contact [11].…”

Background and Objectives: Acute and chronic injuries are frequent in volleyball. Biomechanics of sport-specific tasks can influence the risk of injury, which is also related to specific court positions. We investigated posture at raster-stereography, balance, and dynamic tasks using inertial motion units to find differences between roles, which can be predictive of a higher risk of injury. Materials and Methods: We cross-sectionally evaluated amateur volleyball athletes. Participants were divided into roles as outside hitters, setters, middle blockers, and opposite hitters. We excluded the “libero” position from our analysis. Results: Sixteen players were included in the analysis. A statistically significant difference was found in left lower limb stiffness among the outside hitter and setter groups. Conclusions: Differences in stiffness might be related to the different training and the different abilities among the two groups. Raster-stereography is extending its indications and should be implemented for non-invasive postural analysis. The use of inertial motion units provides objective measurements of variables that could go unrecognized within a clinical evaluation; its use should be considered in injury preventive programs.

Background Sport-related concussions (SRC) are a concern for young athletes due to the potential for long-term health problems. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature exploring SRC incidence in youth sports to understand the associated risks. Methods Medline, Embase, SportDiscus, PsycInfo, and Web of Science databases were searched without language restrictions until March 2023. Studies were included if they i) reported data for calculation of SRC incidence, ii) were a prospective cohort study, and iii) included a sample aged ≤ 18 years. Studies that reported Athlete Exposure (AE) or Player Hours (PH) as SRC incidence data measures were included in a multi-level random-effects meta-analysis. Additional analysis explored SRC incidence based on age, gender, country, year of data collection, setting, and level of contact. Results Of the 5833 studies reviewed for eligibility, 109 studies were accepted for a systematic review and 93 in the meta-analysis. The pooled incidence rate of SRC per 1,000 AE was found to be 1.41 across 21 sports, and 4.16 per 1,000 PH across 7 sports. The highest incidence per 1,000 AE were in taekwondo, rugby union, and ice hockey, and the highest incidence per 1,000 PH were in rugby 7’s, rugby league, and rugby union. Conclusions This systematic review and meta-analysis can serve as an updated baseline for risk of concussion among youth athletes across various sports. Registration: This systematic review was registered on OSF registries (https://osf.io/v298s).
