Effects of Blocking Stylles on Injury Rates and Sportsmanship During Intramural Flag Football Games
Abstract
This study was conducted to provide new knowledge pertinent to the style of blocking used during intramural flag football games. Specifically, this study was conducted to compare the rate of injuries and unsportsmanlike conduct at universities that utilize contact blocking during their respective flag football leagues to those universities using screen blocking. Another objective of this research was to examine the effect on injuries experienced by varying gender composition: male-only, female-only, or corecreational (mixed). Analysis of Variance was used to examine the injuries sustained during intramural flag football seasons at 11 universities. A Two-Sample Wilcoxon RankSum test was used to examine unsportsmanlike conduct.
