OverviewAI-generated summary
Luzita Vela's research focuses on the epidemiology and management of injuries and health conditions within collegiate athletics. Her work investigates the descriptive epidemiology of injuries in collegiate women's field hockey, drawing data from the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance System over a 15-year period. Vela also examines the psychological impact of concussions on collegiate athletes, exploring symptoms of depression and anxiety in those with and without a history of concussion. Additionally, her research addresses patient-provider dynamics in athletic care, specifically looking at racial and ethnic concordance and discordance in concussion management and attitudes toward implicit bias among athletic trainers. She has also studied the relationship between fear-related patient-reported outcomes and recovery following ACL reconstruction, and the impact of self-reported injury history on quality of life in collegiate baton twirlers.
