  1. The numerator in all injury rates (reported and computed) is the number of total injuries, not the number of persons injured
  2. “RR” is risk ratio; “OR” is odds ratio; “HR” is hazard radio; “ARR” is adjusted risk ratio; “NR” is not reported
  3. “*” = statistically significant at p = 0.05 level
  4. aHewett et al. [31] data are for ACL and MCL injuries among female athletes only
  5. bPfeiffer et al. [34] reported non-contact ACL injuries
