  1. The numerator in all injury rates (reported and computed) is the number of total injuries, not the number of persons injured
  2. “ARR” is adjusted risk ratio; “HR” is hazard radio; “NR” is not reported; “OR” is odds ratio; “RR” is risk ratio
  3. “*” = statistically significant at p = 0.05 level
  4. aEstimates reported by McGuine et al. [21] include both soccer and basketball players. A separate RR for basketball players was not included, but a multivariate analysis suggested that the effectiveness of the intervention did not differ significantly by sport
  5. bResults shown from Cumps et al. [19] and Eils et al. [28] are ‘as treated’ estimates
