“… 165 When examining avoidance behaviours during a head-on collision course, varsity rugby athletes avoided significantly later than non-athletes. 168 One study assessed the four-stage sequence of relationships between coaches’ perceived interpersonal coaching styles and university players’ basic psychological needs, self-determined motives and performance. 166 It was found that all basic psychological needs were perceived to be highly fulfilled.…”

“…Five studies investigated the psychological aspect of women’s rugby (online supplemental table 7). One of these studies was performed using rugby union athletes (20% of 5 studies),164 one used a combination of rugby union and sevens athletes (20%),165 and the remaining three studies did not report the rugby code (60%) 166–168.

ObjectivesIn part 1, the objective was to undertake a systematic scoping review of applied sports science and sports medicine in women’s rugby, and in part 2 to develop a consensus statement on future research priorities.DesignIn part 1, a systematic search of PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus and SPORTDiscus (EBSCOhost) was undertaken from the earliest records to January 2021. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020, the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews, and the PRISMA extension protocols were followed. In part 2, 31 international experts in women’s rugby (ie, elite players, sports scientists, medical clinicians, sports administrators) participated in a three-round Delphi consensus method. These experts reviewed the findings from part 1 and subsequently provided a list of priority research topics in women’s rugby. Research topics were grouped into expert-based themes and expert-based subthemes via content analysis. Expert-based themes and expert-based subthemes were ranked from very low to very high research priority on a 1–5 Likert scale. Consensus was defined by ≥70% agreement. The median research priority agreement and IQR were calculated for each expert-based theme and subtheme.Data sourcesPubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus and SPORTDiscus (EBSCOhost).Eligibility criteria for selecting studiesStudies were eligible for inclusion if they investigated applied sports science or sports medicine in women’s rugby.ResultsIn part 1, the systematic scoping review identified 123 studies, which were categorised into six sports science and sports medicine evidence-based themes: injury (n=48), physical performance (n=32), match characteristics (n=26), fatigue and recovery (n=6), nutrition (n=6), and psychology (n=5). In part 2, the Delphi method resulted in three expert-based themes achieving consensus on future research priority in women’s rugby: injury (5.0 (1.0)), female health (4.0 (1.0)) and physical performance (4.0 (1.0)).Summary/ConclusionThis two-part systematic scoping review and Delphi consensus is the first study to summarise the applied sports science and sports medicine evidence base in women’s rugby and establish future research priorities. The summary tables from part 1 provide valuable reference information for researchers and practitioners. The three expert-based themes that achieved consensus in part 2 (injury, female health and physical performance) provide clear direction and guidance on future research priorities in women’s rugby. The findings of this two-part study facilitate efficient and coordinated use of scientific resources towards high-priority research themes relevant to a wide range of stakeholders in women’s rugby.

“…Does concussion have a negative effect on the exertion of safety skills? Studies promoting visual information processing or reaction behavior training 22 to avoid head collisions in tackles, and shortening the reaction time on open skills (decision making system) 23 might also be helpful. A specific approach of developing recognition ability like vision training effects for young female athletes would be also attracting attention 24 .…”

The aim of this study was to grasp the injury situation of Japanese female rugby players in 2020-2021 by network analysis with psychological condition under COVID19 (June 1-30, 2021). The number of respondents was 302. 60% reported serious injuries. The parts were ankle, knee, shoulder, head, etc. Symptoms are ligament / bone / muscle damage or concussion. The caused plays were tackle/tackled, running with no physical contact, etc. There were 39 head injuries. Some ones played while continuing long-term treatment such as knees and ankles. Approximate 40 % of players injured once were injured twice again, and approximate 40% of players injured twice were injured a third time. 30% of all respondents had some chronic symptoms. Network analysis revealed a structure with multiple chronic symptoms (head, shoulders, knees, ankles), a structure of multiple parts of injuries in a single play, and a structure in which the same parts were repeatedly injured in a year. Some players suffered concussions after knee injuries. It suggested the possibility that the physical safety management skills to protect the head might be inferior due to insufficient recovery of knee function as a negative injury chain structure.
