Abstract: Along with the enjoyment and the other positive benefits of sport participation, there is also the risk of injury that is elevated in contact sport. This review provides a summary of injury incidence in Australian rules football (ARF), identifies injury risk factors, assesses the efficacy of interventions to reduce injury risk and makes recommendations for future research. The most common injuries were found to be muscle strains, particularly hamstrings; joint ligament sprains, especially ankle; haematomas and… Show more

“…There were 8 intrinsic and 1 extrinsic injury recorded in the data set, with 6 6 injuries of moderate severity and 3 of high severity. The sites injured were lower leg (2), thigh (2), 7 hip/groin (2), ankle (2) and forearm (1). A main effect for time is also indicated in Table 1, showing 8 that sleep duration and efficiency were slightly but significantly greater (p<0.05) at T2 than T1.…”

“…Athletic injuries are common in a variety of sports,1 2 compromising performance,3–5 posing a financial burden to organisations,6 and potentially causing long-term health consequences 7. The causes for these injuries are numerous, highlighted by a number of multifactorial injury aetiology models 8–10.…”

“…However, obvious performance decrements provide an opportunity to link health and injury risk-mitigation strategies with enhanced performance, which has been suggested to be a more effective way to encourage compliance with health-promotion and injuryprevention programs. 20 Higher BMI values were associated with decreased performance on 7 of the 8 performance tests, whereas self-reported smoking, physical inactivity, and prior history of injury were associated with decreased performance on 6, 5, and 4 of the 8 tests, respectively. The negative association of smoking, BMI, physical inactivity, and past history of injury with current physical performance identified in this study highlights the potential need for a multifactorial and interdisciplinary approach to programs focused on human performance optimization and injury prevention in occupational settings.…”

“…9,15 Although there is limited research investigating the association of health risk factors with occupational or physical performance, Leyk et al 19 studied 10-to 25-year olds and found that even a single risk factor (weight, smoking status, or physical activity level) associated with an unhealthy lifestyle could impair physical performance. Other researchers 20 have suggested that risk-mitigation strategies may result in improved compliance if the strategy can also enhance performance. Based on the need to better understand the association between health risk factors and physical performance in a military setting, the primary purpose of our study was to determine if health risk factors (inactivity, increased body mass, smoking, and a history of injury) were associated with a broad range of physical performance measures, including aerobic endurance, strength, power, functional movement, balance, and core stability in a military population.…”
