I aimed to explore the safety and optimal tackle outcomes in women’s rugby union (henceforth called rugby). Using the evidence-based medicine model as a guiding framework, I employed multiple methods, integrating player values and coaching expertise with empirical and systematic approaches (figure 1).1 Figure 1 Venn diagram outlining thesis studies and their relation to evidence-based practice (EBP), adapted from Sackett et al .1 The frequency and impact of tackle injuries in rugby have prompted calls to mitigate the associated risks. Although women’s rugby is considered one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide, research has not kept up with the pace. Women’s rugby players feature in less than 4% of tackle literature, leaving coaches and practitioners assuming that tackle research in men can be generalised to Women. In the burgeoning performance context of women’s rugby, androcentric frameworks may be misaligned with the specific preparation needs of women players. As a physiotherapist and international rugby player, I employed a pragmatic approach to capture the breadth and depth of this overlooked area in a balanced, meaningful way to craft context-specific solutions.1 I adopted an emergent design, allowing research questions and data collection methods to evolve in real time based on in-the-field learnings. First, I conducted a scoping review investigating the physical, technical demands and preparatory strategies in female field collision sports.2 Then, I employed a qualitative …

“追赶”：女子橄榄球联盟的安全性和最佳铲球结果（学院博士奖）

我的目的是探索女子橄榄球联盟（以下简称橄榄球）的安全性和最佳铲球结果。以循证医学模型为指导框架，我采用了多种方法，将球员价值观和教练专业知识与经验和系统方法相结合（图 1）。1 图 1 维恩图概述了论文研究及其与循证实践的关系（ EBP），改编自 Sackett 等人 1 橄榄球运动中铲球受伤的频率和影响促使人们呼吁减轻相关风险。尽管女子橄榄球被认为是全球发展最快的运动之一，但研究却未能跟上步伐。女子橄榄球运动员在铲球文献中所占的比例不到 4%，这使得教练和从业者认为针对男性的铲球研究可以推广到女性。在女子橄榄球运动蓬勃发展的背景下，以男性为中心的框架可能与女性运动员的具体准备需求不一致。作为一名物理治疗师和国际橄榄球运动员，我采用了一种务实的方法，以一种平衡、有意义的方式捕捉这个被忽视领域的广度和深度，以制定针对具体情况的解决方案。1我采用了一种紧急设计，允许研究问题和数据收集方法根据现场学习实时发展。首先，我进行了范围审查，调查了女子田间碰撞运动的身体、技术要求和准备策略。2然后，我采用了定性……
