Epidemiology and associated risk factors for injuries in collegiate cheerleading
Context: Collegiate cheerleading is a physically demanding sport with high rates of injuries. However, existing injury surveillance is limited, outdated, and inconsistent, underscoring the need to synthesize available evidence to guide prevention strategies. Objective: To investigate the epidemiology and risk factors for injuries in collegiate cheerleading by synthesizing evidence on injury rates, mechanisms, and types. Data sources: Eight electr…
Concussion Awareness Training Tool for Youth
BACKGROUND: Concussion education is recommended to increase concussion knowledge, beliefs, and reporting intentions. The Concussion Awareness Training Tool for Youth (CATT-Youth) is a 40-minute e-Learning module developed for high school-aged youth. AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate changes in concussion knowledge, beliefs, and reporting intentions in high school youth from Calgary, Canada, following completion of the CATT-Youth. METHODS:…
The role of bridging programmes in supporting student persistence and prevention of attrition
Social mobility, and in particular, intergenerational mobility, can be driven by increased opportunities for extended education.Movement beyond a family's social class will often see positive changes to overall life satisfaction, however, this movement can introduce feelings of alienation.This in turn can lead to detachment either from the social group or, more likely, from the educational provision.As such, institutions are spending time and res…
Academic Accommodations for Middle and High School Students Following a Concussion
BACKGROUND: An estimated 1 in 5 adolescents have sustained a concussion in North America. Teachers and school administrators are responsible for implementing academic accommodations and other supports for optimal return to learn following a concussion. The primary objective of this study was to describe the prevalence and feasibility of providing academic accommodations to students following concussion from the perspectives of middle and high sch…
Concurrent Validity of Movement Screening Criteria Designed to Identify Injury Risk Factors in Adolescent Female Volleyball Players
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in female adolescent athletes occur at disproportionately high levels compared to their male counterparts. However, limited prospective data exist on the validity of low-cost screening tools that can proactively identify ACL injury risk, specifically for female athletes. The purpose of this study was to assess the concurrent validity of a three-task injury risk factor assessment by comparing visually deri…
Reality Check 2
Sport-related injuries are the leading cause of injury in youth and are costly to the healthcare system. When body checking is disallowed in non-elite levels of Bantam (ages 13-14 years) ice hockey, the injury rate is reduced, but the impact on costs is unknown. This study compared rates of game injuries and costs among non-elite Bantam ice hockey leagues that disallow body checking to those that did not. Methods : An economic evaluation was cond…
The Impact of Covid-19 on High School Student-Athlete Experiences with Physical Activity, Mental Health, and Social Connection
COVID-19 restrictions led to reduced levels of physical activity, increased screen usage, and declines in mental health in youth; however, in-depth understandings of the experiences of high school student-athletes have yet to be explored. To describe the experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic on student-athletes' physical activity, social connection, and mental health, 20 high school student-athletes living in Calgary, Alberta participated in semi-…
Canadian High School Rugby Coaches Readiness for an Injury Prevention Strategy Implementation
Background: Canadian rugby coach injury prevention beliefs and attitudes have not been studied, yet are key to informing injury prevention strategy implementation. Despite neuromuscular training (NMT) warm-up success in reducing injury, adoption of these programs is variable. Therefore, objectives of this study included (1) describing Canadian youth rugby coach injury prevention beliefs and attitudes and current warm-up practices and (2) evaluati…
Timing of Translation in Cross-Language Qualitative Research
Although there is increased understanding of language barriers in cross-language studies, the point at which language transformation processes are applied in research is inconsistently reported, or treated as a minor issue. Differences in translation timeframes raise methodological issues related to the material to be translated, as well as for the process of data analysis and interpretation. In this article we address methodological issues relat…
