Background/aim: Considerable improvement has been made in football field surfaces and types of shoe, yet relatively few epidemiological studies have investigated their roles in the risk of football injuries. This study examined the effects of field surface, surface condition and shoe type on the likelihood of lower extremity football injuries.
Methods: Deidentified data from 188 players from one division I university football team during the 2007-2010 seasons were analysed.
Article Synopsis
- A study compared automated recordings and human observations of hand-hygiene events involving nearly 1,400 cases.
- There was a 38% discrepancy in details noted by the two methods.
- The differences were likely caused by factors such as the observer's distance from the event and the clinic's level of activity.
