  1. The numerator in all injury rates (reported and computed) is the number of total injuries, not the number of persons injured
  2. Emery et al. [29], LaBella et al. [20], Longo et al. [32], and Aerts et al. [26] reported data for All LEIs which they defined in various ways. For other studies, we computed an “All LEIs” outcome when possible, by adding together injury data as follows: Riva et al. [22], knee and ankle injuries; Bonato et al. [27], knee, ACL and ankle injuries; Foss et al. [30], knee and ankle injuries
  3. “ARR” is adjusted risk ratio; “HR” is hazard radio; “NR” is not reported; “OR” is odds ratio; “RR” is risk ratio
  4. “*” = statistically significant at p = 0.05 level
