Summary conclusion criteria to synthesise relationship results between physical fitness components and sports injury outcomes (adapted from [57])

Summary conclusion	Criterion
Clear association (consistent result)	≥ 60% of total relationships were deemed significant indicating sufficient evidence to support the significant association between a physical fitness component and sports injury.
Inconsistent association (inconsistent result)	34–59% of total relationships were deemed significant indicating inconsistent evidence to support the association between a physical fitness component and sports injury.
No association (consistent result)	≤ 33% of total relationships were deemed significant indicating sufficient evidence to support no association between a physical fitness component and sports injury.
Unknown result	Less than five relationships were investigated indicating limited evidence provided to support the association between a physical fitness component and sports injury.
