Figure 2.
Meta-analysis examining the effectiveness of reducing overall injury for the exercise-based intervention groups compared with control groups. Note: the size of the boxes around each diamond are proportional to the weight of each study, and the horizontal lines represent the 95% CI. The open diamond represents the pooled overall injury incidence rate ratio (IRR) and its width represents its 95% CI. The studies by Espinosa et al 51 and Söderman et al 56 were separated due to only including one exercise-based training component. Studies by Gilchrist et al 52 and Waldén et al 59 only reported knee injuries, and thus the values for overall injuries are taken from knee injuries.
