Minneapolis, MN – Through an innovative partnership Prevent Biometrics and Leeds Rhinos teamed up in 2020 to quantify collision exposure in Super League Rugby matches. The goal of this partnership was to complete an in-depth analysis of the validity of the Prevent Head Impact Monitoring platform in accurately measuring collisions on the field of play.
“The Prevent Biometrics mouthguards are fitted with a number of sensors that can measure head acceleration and impact location during collision events. The team have been working to determine the accuracy of the mouthguard data, to measure collision events and direct contact with the head by assessing the data against video footage. The results of this work have shown that the mouthguards are accurate for measuring head impacts and collision events during rugby league matches.”
