  • infographic Sports biostatisticians as a critical member of all Sports Science and medical teams for injury prevention
    British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2019
    Co-Authors: Marti Casals, Sheree Bekker, Caroline F Finch
    Abstract:

    The statistics profession has been heralded as one of the 21st century’s sexiest.1 Indeed, movies like Moneyball have brought the advent of data Science in the Sports arena into the mainstream.2 New technologies and the potential for Big Data provide compelling potential for the inclusion of statisticians in Sports Science and medicine teams. Current methodological problems that exist in research and in sport Science …

  • Sports biostatistician a critical member of all Sports Science and medicine teams for injury prevention
    British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2018
    Co-Authors: Marti Casals, Caroline F Finch
    Abstract:

    Sports Science and medicine need specialists to solve the challenges that arise with injury data. In the Sports injury field, it is important to be able to optimise injury data to quantify injury occurrences, understand their aetiology and most importantly, prevent them. One of these specialty professions is that of Sports Biostatistician. The aim of this paper is to describe the emergent field of Sports Biostatistics and its relevance to injury prevention. A number of important issues regarding this profession and the Science of Sports injury prevention are highlighted. There is a clear need for more multidisciplinary teams that incorporate biostatistics, epidemiology and public health in the Sports injury area.

  • a profile of Sports Science research 1983 2003
    Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2007
    Co-Authors: Stephen John Williams, Lawrence R. Kendall
    Abstract:

    A majority of Sports Science research is undertaken in universities and dedicated research centres, such as institutes of sport. Reviews of literature analysing and categorising research have been carried out, but categories identified have been limited to research design and data gathering techniques. Hence there is a need to include categories such as discipline, subjects and targeted sport. A study was conducted using document analysis method to gather data that described and categorised performance-based Sports Science research projects in Australian universities and institutes of sport. An instrument was designed that could be used by researchers to analyse and profile research in the area of Sports Science. The instrument contained six categories: targeted sport, primary study area, participant type, research setting, methodology and data gathering techniques. Research documents analysed consisted of 725 original unpublished research reports/theses. Results showed that over two-thirds of research projects were targeted to specific Sports and, of this group, nearly half involved four Sports: cycling, rowing, athletics and swimming. Overall, physiology was the most researched scientific discipline. The most frequently used research method was experimental design, and the most frequently used data gathering technique was physiological (performance) measures. Two-thirds of research was conducted in laboratory settings, and nearly half of the research was conducted with elite or sub-elite athletes as participants/subjects. The findings of this study provide an overall synopsis of performance-based Sports Science research conducted in Australia over the last 20 years, and should be of considerable importance in the ongoing development of Sports Science research policy in Australia.
