- - Results show that most injuries occurred during races, with a significant percentage being soft tissue injuries, and jump racing having a much higher fall and injury incidence compared to flat racing.
- - Notably, female flat jockeys experienced more falls than their male counterparts, while flat jockeys were more likely to sustain injuries when they fell, indicating important differences in risks based on racing type and gender.

A cross-sectional study comparing data from a cohort of retired professional jockeys with an age-matched general population sample.
