Understanding practitioners' perceptions of the barriers and facilitators to their use is important to support implementation and adoption. This study assessed men's and women's rugby union and league iMG managers' perceptions of staff and player interest in the technology, data and barriers to use. Forty\u2010six iMG managers (men's rugby union and league <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a020 and <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a09 and women's rugby union and league <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a07 and <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a010) completed an 18\u2010question survey. Perceived interest in data varied across staff roles with medical staff being reported as having the most interest. The iMG devices were perceived as easy to use but uncomfortable. Several uses of data were identified, including <jats:italic>medical applications, player monitoring<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>player welfare.<\/jats:italic> The <jats:italic>comfort, size and fit of the iMG<\/jats:italic> were reported as the major barriers to player use. <jats:italic>Time constraints<\/jats:italic> and a <jats:italic>lack of understanding of data<\/jats:italic> were barriers to engagement with the data. Continued education on how iMG data can be used is required to increase player and staff buy\u2010in, alongside improving comfort of the devices. Studies undertaken with iMGs investigating player performance and welfare outcomes will make data more useful and increase engagement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejsc.12101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,20]],"date-time":"2024-03-20T03:44:52Z","timestamp":1710906292000},"page":"670-681","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Embracing the <i>impact<\/i> from instrumented mouthguards (iMGs): A survey of iMG managers' perceptions of staff and player interest into the technology, data and barriers to use"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1428-9282","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregory","family":"Roe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Carnegie Applied Rugby Research (CARR) Centre Carnegie School of Sport Leeds Beckett University  Leeds UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Whitehead","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carnegie Applied Rugby Research (CARR) Centre Carnegie School of Sport Leeds Beckett University  Leeds UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lindsay","family":"Starling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Rugby  Dublin Ireland"},{"name":"Centre for Health and Injury and Illness Prevention in Sport University of Bath  Bath UK"},{"name":"UK Collaborating Centre on Injury and Illness Prevention in Sport (UKCCIIS) University of Bath  Bath UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Allan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport and Exercise Sciences Research Institute Ulster University  Belfast UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matt","family":"Cross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carnegie Applied Rugby Research (CARR) Centre Carnegie School of Sport Leeds Beckett University  Leeds UK"},{"name":"Premiership Rugby  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00c9anna","family":"Falvey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Rugby  Dublin Ireland"},{"name":"School of Medicine &amp;
