Table 3 Summary conclusion criteria to synthesise relationship results between physical fitness components and sports injury outcomes (adapted from [57])
Summary conclusion | Criterion |
|---|---|
Clear association (consistent result) | ≥ 60% of total relationships were deemed significant indicating sufficient evidence to support the significant association between a physical fitness component and sports injury. |
Inconsistent association (inconsistent result) | 34–59% of total relationships were deemed significant indicating inconsistent evidence to support the association between a physical fitness component and sports injury. |
No association (consistent result) | ≤ 33% of total relationships were deemed significant indicating sufficient evidence to support no association between a physical fitness component and sports injury. |
Unknown result | Less than five relationships were investigated indicating limited evidence provided to support the association between a physical fitness component and sports injury. |
