Interseason variability of a functional movement test, the 9+ screening battery, in professional male football players
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-06)Background: The Nine Plus screening battery test (9+) is a functional movement test intended to identify limitations in fundamental movement patterns predisposing athletes to injury. However, the interseason variability ... -
Involving research‐invested clinicians in data collection affects injury incidence in youth football
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)It is well established that differences in injury definition and recording methodology restrict comparisons between injury surveillance programmes. There is, however, little documentation of the variation that can exist ... -
Kiss goodbye to the ‘kissing knees’: No association between frontal plane inward knee motion and risk of future non-contact ACL injury in elite female athletes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aim of this study was to investigate if frontal plane knee and hip control in single-leg squats or vertical drop jumps with an overhead target were associated with future non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ... -
Landing-related ankle injuries do not occur in plantarflexion as once thought: a systematic video analysis of ankle injuries in world-class volleyball
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Ankle injuries are prevalent in elite volleyball and suggested to result from player contact at the net. Traditionally, ankle sprains are thought to happen in a plantarflexed position, but case studies suggest ... -
Neuromuscular training warm-up prevents acute noncontact lower extremity injuries in children's soccer: A cluster randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Prevention of sports injuries is essential in youth, as injuries are associated with less future physical activity and thus greater all-cause morbidity.Purpose:To investigate whether a neuromuscular training ... -
No association between rate of torque development and onset of muscle activity with increased risk of hamstring injury in elite football
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Introduction: Hamstring injuries remain a significant burden in sports that involve high speed running. In elite male football, hamstring injury has repeatedly been identified as the most common noncontact injury, representing ... -
No association between static and dynamic postural control and ACL injury risk among female elite handball and football players: a prospective study of 838 players
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Research on balance measures as potential risk factors for ACL injury is limited. Objective: To assess whether postural control was associated with an increased risk for ACL injuries in female elite handball ... -
Performance and symmetry measures during vertical jump testing at return to sport after ACL reconstruction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Objective: Vertical jump tests are more sensitive in revealing asymmetries in performance metrics at the time of return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) than horizontal hop tests. ... -
Prevalence and burden of health problems in competitive adolescent distance runners: A 6-month prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)To describe all health problems (injuries and illnesses) in relation to type, location, incidence, prevalence, time loss, severity, and burden, in competitive adolescent distance runners in England. Prospective observational ... -
Prevalence and Burden of Health Problems in Male Elite Ice Hockey Players : A Prospective Study in the Norwegian Professional League
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: As previous epidemiological studies in elite ice hockey have focused on acute time-loss injuries, little is known about the burden of overuse injuries and illnesses in ice hockey. Purpose: To report the prevalence ... -
Prevalence and burden of self-reported health problems in junior male elite ice hockey players: A 44-week prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Little is known about the burden of overuse injuries and illnesses in junior elite ice hockey. Purpose: To describe the prevalence and burden of all health problems in junior male elite ice hockey players ... -
Radial and oblique impact testing of alpine helmets onto snow surfaces
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Recent studies have found that alpine helmets reduce the risk of focal injuries associated with radial impacts, which is likely due to current alpine helmet standards requiring helmets to be drop-tested on flat anvils with ... -
Self-reported sports injuries and later-life health status in 3357 retired Olympians from 131 countries: A cross-sectional survey among those competing in the games between London 1948 and PyeongChang 2018
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objective: Describe the self-reported prevalence and nature of Olympic-career injury and general health and current residual symptoms in a self-selected sample of retired Olympians. Methods: 3357 retired Olympians from ... -
Single leg hop for distance symmetry masks lower limb biomechanics: time to discuss hop distance as decision criterion for return to sport after ACL reconstruction?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: We evaluated the lower limb status of athletes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) during the propulsion and landing phases of a single leg hop for distance (SLHD) task after they had been ... -
Single leg vertical jump performance identifies knee function deficits at return to sport after ACL reconstruction in male athletes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objectives: Vertical jump performance (height) is a more representative metric for knee function than horizontal hop performance (distance) in healthy individuals. It is not known what the biomechanical status of athletes ... -
Sports injuries and illnesses at the Lausanne 2020 Youth Olympic Winter Games: A prospective study of 1783 athletes from 79 countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objective: To describe the injury and illness characteristics among participating athletes during the Lausanne 2020 Youth Olympic Winter Games (YOG 2020), 9–22 January 2020. Methods: The daily number of athlete injuries ... -
