The relationship between ground conditions and injury: What level of evidence do we have?
2013, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :Consistent with Orchard,5 ground hardness decreased significantly throughout the rugby season, however, there was no significant relationship between ground hardness and community-level rugby union injuries. While an association between ground conditions and rugby injuries were identified in most of the studies that assessed ground conditions subjectively,7,12,29,30,42 findings from this study using an objective measure of ground hardness demonstrated a non-significant association between these two factors.11 The validity of a penetrometer to determine ground hardness on natural turf playing fields is questionable due to the depth of penetration of the device, therefore, a greater evidence-base using valid and objective measures is required to relate ground conditions to injury risk in rugby.
The epidemiology of foot injuries in professional rugby union players
2011, Foot and Ankle SurgeryRecent Trends in Rugby Union Injuries
2008, Clinics in Sports MedicineCitation Excerpt :In 1991 Meeuwisse [93] emphasized the importance of identifying causal relationships between risk factors and injuries in epidemiological studies, and some recent studies have been successful in identifying specific intrinsic and extrinsic injury risk factors in rugby union players. Ligament laxity [94], lumbopelvic stability [95], ground and weather conditions [96,97], time of the season [18,98], previous injury experience [89,98], physical fitness or level of activity [89,98], training volume [91], age or experience [89,98], and physique [89,98] have all been reported risk factors in rugby union players. The rugby union epidemiology to date has provided a good level of data on which to base both preventative and therapeutic interventions (the first two stages of the van Mechelen cycle of injury prevention [35]).
