TABLE 1.

Logistic regression equations and regression coefficients of the four injury risk functions utilized in the prediction of injury, where α and β are the regression coefficients and x is the measured acceleration for the Pellman, linear, and rotational risk functions.

R[a]=11+e-α+βx
Linear (NFL) α = −4.897, β = 0.0606
Linear (Collegiate) α = −9.805, β = 0.0510
Rotational α = −12.531, β = 0.0020
