🚨 Extremely proud to be Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Injury & Illness Prevention in Sport. 📖 Anyone who has published academically knows a new model is needed. #JiiPS is here to provide it for the sport science & medicine community. 🔗 jiips.co.uk/index.php/jiip… 👇🏼 🧵

@TightFive_Rugby Not sure the evidence is that clear cut. A study by @CharliRobertson who might have some more insight. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC98…

Yes. Absolutely. Artificial pitches are a hotbed for injuries and the only reason they’re in use is because it saves money - no player prefers playing on artificial over grass or hybrid. Get them gone.
