COORDINATION VARIABILITY AND INJURY RISK IN EXPERIENCED COLLEGIATE DANCERS
… it has not yet been linked to dance-related injury, coordination variability (CV) is a measure of how much movement strategy changes between repetitions of a task and low levels of CV have been linked to injury in other sports. This study aimed to determine the relationship between CV and …

Influence of Child Injury Risk Perceptions on Adult Supervision Behavior
… play an important role in child safety and injury prevention, and inadequate supervision poses a significant threat to child health. Intervention programs targeting injury beliefs have been shown to positively reduce risky play in children though these efforts vary with age and context. …

Effect of fatigue on hamstring strain injury risk in soccer
… injuries within modern soccer match-play. The injury is well recognised by medical personnel, coaches and athletes as a major concern causing significant financial costs and lost time from training and matches. The temporal pattern of hamstring injury incidence during matches has shown almost …

Bicycle Travel, Injury Risk and Conspicuity. Application of Epidemiological Methods
… travel for many people. The real and perceived risk of injury is commonly cited as a significant deterrent to engaging in such activity and is sometimes associated with the danger of motorised traffic. Bicycle-motor vehicle collisions often result from the driver’s failure to detect the cyclist …

Effect of Belt Usage Reporting Errors on Injury Risk Estimates
… Data System (NASS-CDS) investigators on injury risk estimates. Current estimates of injury risk are developed under the assumption that NASS-CDS investigators are always accurate at determining seat belt usage. The primary purpose of this research is to determine the accuracy of NASS-CDS …

Evaluating the Head Injury Risk Associated with Baseball and Softball
… has been identified as the leading cause of injury in baseball and softball, with the most frequent injury resulting from a ball impacting the head. Reduced injury factor balls, infield softball masks, batter's helmets, and catcher's masks have all been integrated into baseball and softball …

Influence of Advanced Airbags on Injury Risk During Frontal Crashes
… drivers involved in crashes continue to be at risk of serious thoracic injury. One hypothesis is that this risk may be due to the lack of airbag deployment or the airbag \'bottoming-out\' in some cases, causing drivers to make contact with the steering. The objective of this study is to …

The Crash Injury Risk to Rear Seated Passenger Vehicle Occupants
… rear seat occupants have been at a lower risk of serious injury and fatality in motor vehicle crashes than their front seat counterparts. However, many passive safety advancements that have occurred over the past few decades such as advanced airbag and seatbelt technology primarily benefit …

Ensemble Support Vector Machine Models of Radiation-Induced Lung Injury Risk
Patients undergoing radiation therapy can develop a potentially fatal inflammation of the lungs known as radiation pneumonitis: RP). In practice, modeling RP factors is difficult because existing data are under-sampled and imbalanced. Support vector machines: SVMs), a class of statistical learning …

Serious and Fatal Injury Risk in Road Departure Crashes with Guardrail
… two aspects of the problem: 1) assessment of the injury risks posed by guardrail itself; 2) determination of appropriate guardrail length. When controlling for other factors, light truck / van / sport utility vehicles (LTVs) showed injury odds 3.9 times greater in end terminal crashes compared to …

Injury Risk of Road Departure Crashes using Modeling and Reconstruction Methods
… 46% of these fatalities. Efforts to reduce to injury risk and risk exposure in these crashes have been hampered by the difficulty in performing reconstructions. To address the need for accurate reconstructions in order to assess injury risk, a vehicle-specific stiffness database was added to …

Can the natural turf pitch affect injury risk and performance within elite football?
… to question the role hardness plays regarding injury on such natural turf. Unfortunately, the literature is scarce and lacks objective measures of pitch hardness providing no evidence to support or refute these concerns. Thus, the primary aim of this thesis was to question the role of natural …

Effect of soccer match-play on markers of anterior cruciate ligament injury risk
… understanding of how match-play increases ACL injury risk will benefit the development of effective screening and injury prevention programmes. This thesis therefore aimed to investigate the effects of simulating soccer match-play on markers of ACL injury risk. First, 45 min treadmill versus …

Maturation, playing position and genetic variation: injury risk factors in high-level youth soccer
The negative impact of injury on the development of youth soccer players (YSP) means that efforts must be made to prevent and control their occurrence. Although a range of risk factors have been investigated in YSP, they remain poorly understood due to limitations with previous studies (as …
