Article Synopsis
- Lower extremity (LEX) strains, including hamstring and calf strains, are common injuries in professional football, leading to significant time lost from participation.
- A descriptive epidemiology study was conducted analyzing LEX strains among NFL players from 2015-2019, revealing that 26.7% of players experienced these injuries, primarily during preseason practices and regular season games.
- The majority of LEX strains were hamstring related, with defensive secondary players being the most affected, and punt plays showing the highest injury rates compared to other play types.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of concussions on NFL players from 2015 to 2020, focusing on days and games missed, injury burden, and return-to-full-participation (RTFP) time.
- Annually, an average of 3,639 player-days and 255 games were missed due to concussions, with players missing a median of 9 days before returning, showing slight variations by position.
- The results indicated that 59% of players missed at least one game post-concussion, and none returned on the same day of injury, highlighting the need for further research into concussions that lead to longer recovery times.
Background: Sport-related concussion (SRC) prevention and management is a focus of the National Football League (NFL). While most prior reports evaluated sport-related concussion incidence, few have studied same-year repeat concussions. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of same-year repeat concussions in the NFL.

The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of existing literature to identify specific factors most commonly identified as influencing ED patient experience.
Methods: A literature search was performed, and articles were included if published in peer-reviewed journals, primarily focused on ED patient experience, employed observational or interventional methodology, and were available in English.
