Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of initial injuries. | At the end of the intervention season (6 months). | Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session.Injury rates will be summarised as number of injuries per 1000 player-hours for both matches and training. Exposure time in hours will be calculated for each team over a 6-month period. |
| The incidence of recurrent injuries | At the end of the intervention season (6 months) | Recurrent injury is defined as a repeat episode of a fully recovered injury. Injury is defined according to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies; an injury will be recorded if it caused the player to be unable to completely participate in the following match or training session. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| injury severity | At time of any injury occurring throughout intervention soccer season (6 months) | Defined as time loss in days (days unable to train): minor (1 to 7 days lost), moderate (8 to 21 days lost), or severe (\>21 days lost). Injury severity data will be collected from Sports Injury Tracker injury reporting form. |
| Compliance with the intervention | At the end of the intervention season (6 months) | the rate of compliance |
