Article Snippet: Grainger et al. (2018) Rugby , Longitudinal observational cohort study (throughout season) , To compare the absolute and relative number of impacts between nine positional groups in rugby union. , Impacts defined from values above 2 g in a 0.1 s period (of which 10 g impact classifications are likely to be accrued by collisions) , Professional male rugby players ( n = 38, 26.4 ± 4.7 years) , GPS units with integrated triaxial accelerometers (StatSports Viper, Northern Ireland). Incorporated in jerseys, on the thoracic spine between the scapulae. , , The frequency and magnitude of impacts experienced by positional groups vary. Inertial sensor impacts encountered during match play are likely a combination of “real physical impacts” from collisions and those accrued from movement tasks (deceleration, landings, and changes of direction). It is important to assess the total inertial sensor impact values accrued during match play with caution..
