p-value: p=<0.01
Hamstring injuries in elite football occur more frequently during matches than training and tend to accumulate after mid-season winter breaks.
Petersen et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Acute hamstring injuries (n=374). Match play vs. Training was evaluated on Incidence rate of first-time hamstring injury per 1000 hours (p=<0.01). Match play was associated with a significantly greater incidence rate of first-time hamstring injuries per 1000 hours compared with training (P<0.01) among 374 Danish elite football players.
