Supporting evidence — 4 representative gaps

• Injury and illness in non-football collegiate athletics: a single university, 8-year descriptive retrospective analysis (2026) · Scientific Reports · doi

  The study faced challenges in obtaining accurate and consistent data due to the lack of standardized methods of reporting, recording, and treating injuries. The study had to account for overdispersion in the data and correlated injury data from the same athlete across seasons. The study had to exclude data from the COVID-19 pandemic years due to significant changes in training protocols and student illness.

• Training exposure, recovery, and injury incidence among course-based and competitive university Wushu Taolu practitioners: a 12-week prospective cohort study (2026) · Frontiers in Public Health · doi

  Further studies are needed to examine the effects of training exposure on health outcomes in different populations and settings; Studies should investigate the mechanisms by which prior injury increases the risk of subsequent injury; Research should examine the effectiveness of injury-prevention interventions in reducing the risk of injury; Studies should explore the relationship between training load and health outcomes in other sports and activities

• Mechanisms Underlying ACL Injury-Prevention Training: The Brain-Behavior Relationship (2010) · Journal of Athletic Training · cited 30× · doi

  Despite the evidence suggesting that training can alter biomechanical and neuromuscular risk factors that may contribute to ACL injury, it remains to be seen whether changes in behavior after participation in an injury-prevention program result from peripheral adaptations (muscle strengthening), central adaptations (motor reprogramming), or both.

• Comparison of Jump Performance and Lower-Limb Strength by Playing Position in Soccer Players (2026) · Turkish Journal of Sport and Exercise · doi

  Future studies can investigate the effects of position-specific training programs on the physical performance of soccer players. Research can examine the relationship between jumping ability and lower extremity strength and injury risk in soccer players. The study's findings can be used to inform the development of new training programs and injury prevention strategies for soccer players.
