With institutional ethics granted five elite, male para-snowsport athletes (mean age 34.6 ± 7.8 years), with elite snowsport experience of two to five years and amputation of one or both legs, were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed adopting a reflexive thematic analysis approach.

The project aims include:
- To identify whether isometric neck strength is related to incidence of concussion in combat sports.
- To investigate whether head impacts are associated with neurocognitive impairment in combatants.
- To characterise the role of mass of specific muscles of the head-neck segment in isometric neck strength.
PhD project commencing in Jan 2021 part-time with a 2028 deadline. The programme of research has commenced with Studies #1 and #2 surveying referee and medic knowledge and understanding of concussion respectively. Medics are also asked questions about methods to monitor and protect players should they experience a suspected concussion.
Identify the perceived psychological factors influencing performance.
Understand the percieved impact of a range of relevant psychological factors upon performance.
Understand the percieved impact of a range of relevant psychological factors upon mental health.
