A tackler correctly adhering to the tackle instruction in a front-on, one-on-one torso tackle alters the peak inertial head kinematics of the ball carrier but not the tackler
The ball carriers' inertial head kinematics but not the tacklers were increased when the tackler adhered to this study's variants of the over and under the ball tackle instructions, suggesting that the tacklers were more effective in their tackle performance than the traditional tackle instructions when adhering to the tackle instruction. Greater adherence to the under the ball instructions suggests that the over the ball instruction is a more challenging technique to learn.
