Results

Head angular acceleration showed no interaction with the presence or absence of a concussion history and tackle height (p>0.05). There was a main effect of tackle height on the rotational direction (p<0.05). There was no interaction between lower limb joint flexion angles (hip, knee, and ankle joints), concussion history, and tackle height (p>0.05). However, hip and knee joint flexion angles showed a main effect of tackle height (p<0.05).

Baseline Characteristics

Participants were male rugby players affiliated with the university, as markers for the three-dimensional motion analysis system needed to be attached to their entire bodies, and consent was obtained for measurements conducted by male assessors. Exclusion criteria included individuals who did not consent to participate, those who were currently resting from activities due to injuries, and those with ongoing orthopedic conditions under treatment.

Participant flow

Materials for the study were sent to university rugby teams in Saitama Prefecture, and 19 individuals who provided consent were included in the study. A questionnaire was administered to group participants based on the presence or absence of a concussion history (hereafter referred to as the 'history group' and 'no history group'). Subsequently, measurements were taken using a three-dimensional motion analysis system to assess head angular acceleration and lower limb joint angles during tackles at two different heights.

Adverse events

Not applicable.

Outcome measures

The three-dimensional motion analysis system (Vicon MX System, Vicon Motion Systems, Oxford, UK) was used for the study. Participants tackled a stationary tackle dummy (SUZUKI RUGBY Hard Tackle Dummy SD-903) from a distance of 4.5 meters with maximum effort. Tackles were classified as high if they were between 83 cm and 136 cm from the ground, and low if they were between 45 cm and 83 cm. Each participant performed tackles at both heights in a randomized order, with five repetitions for each height. The tackle dummy was marked at positions 110 cm and 64 cm, and participants were instructed to aim for these positions. Tackles that did not meet the defined criteria, tackles involving a diving motion, or cases where the tackle dummy did not fall in the direction of the tackle were excluded from the analysis.
