Does not support flexibility or anthropometric screening for injury prediction in PE students; leaves open malalignment associations for prospective study.
Do physical characteristics (flexibility, anthropometry, malalignment) predict the risk of sports injuries in physical education students?
Flexibility and anthropometric characteristics did not predict sports injuries in a homogeneous cohort of physical education students.
Twellaar et al. (1997) studied this question.
