Abstract

The growing availability of video provides many applications for the purpose of injury-control research. Video is recognized as a tool for the identification of common injury vignettes, or hazard scenarios, and has been applied predominantly across the sports and recreational realm. The primary advantage afforded by video analysis is the accuracy of data collection associated with events that often occur in a fraction of a second and may not be accurately reported by the injured party, parent, coach, or other observer. By enabling investigators to recreate the physical, social, and environmental factors that may contribute to the injury event or predispose to injury occurrence, video offers the ability to capture mechanisms of injury (both contact and noncontact), biomechanics associated with injury events, physiological and behavioral responses to impact, and a host of other outcomes. In this chapter, we discuss applications of video analysis for sports injury research. We then address methodological considerations and the five phases of the video analysis process ((1) conceptualization, (2) resources, (3) instrument development, (4) data collection, and (5) data analysis). Lastly, we present video analysis as a tool that allows data collection for validation of proposed theories and development of interventions.
