Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate if a personalized risk reduction program for hamstring muscle injuries (HMIs) could lower injury rates among professional football players in the Finnish premier league.
- - Researchers compared players from the 2019 season (control) and the 2021 season (intervention), using statistical analysis to assess HMI occurrences, with 90 players in the control group and 87 in the intervention.
- - While the primary analysis didn't show a significant overall reduction in HMI risk, secondary results indicated that players in the intervention group experienced fewer injuries, suggesting the program might be effective under certain conditions.
