“…Injuries are more common in lower rather than upper limbs in the rugby codes (Brooks, Fuller, Kemp, & Reddin, 2005;Gissane, Jennings, Kerr, & White, 2002), and are similar to injuries reported in other football codes (Hoskins & Pollard, 2006). Because lower-limb injury has been associated with foot-leg geometry (Cowan et al, 1996;Hreljac, Marshall, & Hume, 2000;Kaufman et al, 1999), football boots of varying designs may contribute to injury (Bentley, Ramanathan, Arnold, Wang, & Abboud, 2010;Grund, Senner, & Grube, 2007;Villwock, Meyer, Powell, Fouty, & Haut, 2009).…”
