Innovative or lateral thinking: KW tests for injury burden, incidence of severe injuries, attendance at training and availability for matches across low, moderate and high groups

	Low (n=23)	Moderate (n=16)	High (n=38)	p Value
	Median	Median	Median
Injury burden*	147.9	113.8	109.5	0.318
Incidence of severe injuries†	1.2	1.1	0.8	0.313
Attendance at training (%)	81.3	85.3	85.3	0.033
Availability for matches (%)	86.3	89.2	88.5	0.202

*Number of severe injuries (causing more than 28 days of absence from training and matches) per 1000 hours of exposure ((Σ severe injuries/Σ hours of exposure) × 1000).

†Number of days of absence per 1000 hours of exposure (Σ days of absence/Σ hours of exposure × 1000).
