Questions: Are there age related differences in the incidence of acute injuries or the prevalence of chronic injuries for recreational and competitive surfers. Design: Retrospective observational study. Participants: A total of 1,348 participants completed an online survey consisting of three sections: demographics, acute and chronic injury. Results: Of 1,348 surfers (1,231 male, mean age 36.2 ±13.2, 117 female mean age 31.9 ±11.1), 708 (52.5%) suffered an acute injury whilst surfing in the preceding 12months. As expected those suffering an acute injury on average spent significantly (t=5.2, pConclusion:This information aids in identifying surfers who are more at risk of acute and …

BACKGROUND: As swimming and surfing are prone dominant sports, it would be more sport specific to assess shoulder active range of motion in this position. OBJECTIVES: To determine the reliability of the inclinometer and HALO© for assessing shoulder active range of motion in supine and prone and the concurrent validity of the HALO©. Concurrent validity is based on the comparison of the HALO© and inclinometer. To determine if active range of motion (AROM) differences exists between prone and supine when assessing shoulder internal (IR) and external rotation (ER). DESIGN: The design included clinical measurement, reliability and validity. METHODS: Thirty shoulders …
