Figure 1 displays the tri-axial accelerometry data for the session in which the high ankle sprain injury was sustained. A multi-axial loading event is also highlighted in Figure 1 for subsequent analysis. ** Insert Figure 1 near here ** The data presented in Figure 1 was quantified to determine the cumulative iLoad value in each plane. This data is summarised in Table 1 to directly compare the injured player with the squad average. ** Insert Table 1 near here ** The threshold established for a high loading event was set as ±10 ms-2 for each directional vectors. The number of high loading events is summarised in Figure 2, directly comparing the injured player with the squad average. ** Insert Figure 2 near here ** Figure 3 shows the medio-lateral asymmetry present during the rehabilitation sessions completed post-injury. Over the 11 rehabilitation sessions completed prior to the next injurious event (sustained during match-play) the medial load remained 2.4 x higher than the lateral load ** Insert Figure 3 near here ** DISCUSSION The present study has demonstrated the potential efficacy of GPS-mounted tri-axial accelerometry to identify, and potentially predict, aetiological risk factors in football. This technology has previously been utilised to establish differences in performance
