Delighted to have this work accepted in the @BJSM_BMJ for an Academy Award.
A central contribution of this work is suggesting that injury in competitive cycling is best understood as a complex system, and is not a simple cause-and-effect problem.

💥Hot off the press💥
The contact conundrum: Are we introducing contact at the correct time in youth sports?
📊Current state of play: consistently inconsistent
⚖️Too soon, or not soon enough?

Pleased to see the publication of the first injury epidemiological study in cyclocross - a preliminary study in @PhysSportsMed.

Cyclocross is a fast-growing discipline with no prior epidemiological research.

Implications:
🎯First evidence to suggest a lower tackle height could reduce suspected SRC in high school girls' rugby
🎯Certain characteristics that are deemed more concussive could be targeted through coaching or training interventions

Couldn't be more excited to share the results from our case-control video-analysis study looking at the association between tackle characteristics and suspected concussion (SRC) in high school girls' rugby! 🏉 🧠

🚨New research🚨
Unpicking tackle characteristics in ~10,000 men's professional tackles
Tacklers:
Head-to-knee highest risk
Ball carriers:
Head-to-head highest risk
Both low frequency vs torso contact, which remains recommended

🚨NEW #OriginalResearch by @drkeithstokes, @westy1609 @23benjones et al.
👉 Exploration of tackles characteristics with high odds of resulting in concussion to tacklers and ball-carriers separately in elite men’s rugby union. Understanding the characteristics of tackler and ball-carrier behaviours that are more likely to result in concussion can inform strategies for concussion reduction for all players.
🏉 Lower tackles reduce the chances of concussion to ball-carriers. The influence of tackle height on concussion to tacklers is more nuanced, but the chances are relatively low when contact is made with the ball-carrier’s torso.
