Traditional statistical methods failed to identify predictors of shoulder injuries in CrossFit athletes, highlighting the potential need for machine learning approaches.
Traditional methods may miss shoulder injury predictors in athletes; hypothesis-generating for machine learning in sports cohorts.
: This is the first study that has investigated prospectively shoulder injuries in CrossFit, creating a realistic profile of these athletes. Despite the broad spectrum of collected data, the traditional statistical approach failed to identify shoulder injury predictors. This indicates the necessity to explore this topic using more sophisticated techniques, such as advanced machine learning approaches.
