Summary

Concussion is an issue in many contact sports. In order to guide player protection strategies in rugby league, we first must uncover the biomechanical mechanism of concussion. This PhD project aims to understand this through combining video footage, computational modelling, GPS and instrumented mouthguard (iMG) data from professional players. iMGs are equipped with accelerometers and gyroscopes to measure the linear and rotational kinematics during head impact and acceleration events.

The candidate will be based at Hull KR rugby league club (England). Thus, this PhD provides a unique opportunity for a PhD researcher to gain experience in both academia and elite-level sport.
