In collegiate athletes, approximately one in four injuries require more than seven days before the athlete can return to full participation. Additionally, there are significant long-term consequences associated with these injuries, such as pain and osteoarthritis. Despite the role that the sensorimotor system and cognitive function play in athletic competition, the interaction between these systems in relation to sport-related injury is commonly overlooked. The sensorimotor system integrates and processes sensory, motor, and central mechanisms to produce a motor response. Further, cognition constructs, such as visual attention or processing speed, allow athletes to navigate the chaotic sporting environment. When there are …

Career firefighters must perform physically and psychologically challenging duties in unpredictable and dangerous conditions. Previous investigations have found that firefighters suffer nearly 4 times the recorded musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and workplace injuries compared to private and public sector workers, and take approximately 1.5 days longer to return to normal work. Thus, the burden of firefighter MSD experiences has been a growing area of exploration. The few investigations that have concurrently examined physical and psychosocial consequences experienced by firefighters have found a positive relationship between increased occupational stress reports and MSD experiences. However, these investigations, as well as those that individually …
