NCT03518424

Brief Summary

The aim of the present study is to establish the injury incidence, severity and burden typically observed within Scottish professional football clubs. In line with the well-established model of sports injury prevention research proffered by van Mechelen, the first stage in this process is establishing the extent of the problem i.e. injury incidence, severity and burden. Such a multi-club study has never been conducted within Scotland despite a thriving professional game.
