The quantities given in italic refer to the risk ratio (RR) between sexes (female injury incidence divided by male injury incidence)
PMI 1+ (permanent medical impairment degreed 1–99%). Injury incidence per 1000 player years. Number of injuries (no.). Study period 2006–2013 for floorball, football, and handball, and 2006–2012 for ice hockey. Risk ratio for females compared to males
