original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Interventions to prevent sports related injuries: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
Sports Med. 2014 Apr;44(4):473-86. doi: 10.1007/s40279-013-0136-8.68 randomized controlled trials examining the effect of various interventions - including insoles, external joint supports, training programs, stretching, protective head equipment, modified shoes, and injury prevention videos - for injury prevention were included in this review. Meta-analyses for these preventative interventions revealed that insoles, external joint supports and training programs had significant effects on injury rates, whereas stretching, protective head equipment, modified shoes and injury prevention videos had no significant effect on injury rates. Several included studies suffered from methodological weakness, and results should be interpreted with caution.
