Why the study?
Are there sex differences in injury rates among team-sport athletes?
Are there sex differences in injury rates among team-sport athletes?
There are sex-specific differences in injury rates among team-sport athletes, highlighting the need for further epidemiological studies in sports beyond football.
May warrant sex-specific injury prevention in team sports; extends evidence but requires further studies beyond football.
Our meta-analysis provides evidence for sex-specific differences in the injury rates in team sports. Further epidemiological studies including both sexes in sports other than football are needed in order to strengthen the evidence.
