Both groups completed a 6-week speed and agility program. The ESSA subjects decelerated to a stop within a specified distance in each drill. A repeated measures analysis of variance determined significant (p ≤ 0.05) within- and between-group changes. Effect sizes (Cohen's d) were calculated. The TSA group improved all speed tests (d = 0.29–0.96), and most power tests (d = 0.57–1.10). The ESSA group improved the 40-m sprint, CODAT, T-test, and most power tests (d = 0.46–1.31) but did not significantly decrease 0–10 and 0–20 m times. The TSA group increased posteromedial and medial excursions (d = 0.97–1.89); the ESSA group increased medial excursions (d = 0.99–1.09). The ESSA group increased concentric knee extensor and flexor strength, but also increased between-leg knee flexor strength differences (d = 0.50–1.39). The loading associated with stopping can increase unilateral strength. Coaches should ensure deceleration drills allow for appropriate sprint distances before stopping, and athletes do not favor 1 leg for stopping after deceleration.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:21 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19896 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:49 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17383 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:30 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19722 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:43 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29565 N = 22). Pre-season musculoskeletal screening (incorporating mobility, stability and neural tests) and seasonal injury data were analysed for predictive relationships, and associations between potential predictor variables and injury status. Results: Injuries requiring medical attention occurred at a rate of 3.6 injuries/athlete, while injuries resulting in disability occurred at a rate of 0.6 injuries/athlete, with the lumbar spine the main site of injury (23% and 33%, respectively). Wrist and hand injury resulted in the highest number of days of disability (110 days), followed by injury to the lumbar spine (87 days). Across the season 75% of injuries to the lumbar spine occurred in the latter half of the season. The only screening measure predictive of injured/uninjured status was better left-sided single-leg decline-squat performance (OR = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.09-0.88; p = 0.03), while increasing age was significantly (p = 0.03) associated with thoracic (OR = 1.48; 95% CI = 1.03-2.12) and lumbar spine (OR = 1.46; 95% CI = 1.04-2.04) injury. Conclusions: Though clinically useful, current screening protocols do not adequately assess the risk of seasonal injury in elite Olympic class sailors, and should be revised. Due to the increased risk of spinal injury and potential lost/modified participation in older Olympic class sailors, injury prevention activities should be individualised and age appropriate.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:37:54 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25819 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:38 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25297 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:30:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25695 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:22 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25908 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:51 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22317 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:43 AEDT ]]>
