Simple descriptive statistics are used to create overviews of the outcomes described above, including comparisons between actions which do or do not lead to potential injury incidents. A secondary analysis may be performed including injury diagnoses, if players consent as part of another study on injury surveillance allowing video analysis of their injuries. No a priori sample size calculation was performed, as all potential injury incidents are included.
