Investigation of characteristics and risk factors of sports injuries in young soccer players: a retrospective study

Table 5 Absolute and relative (%) distribution of height and duration of training according to mechanism of injury

¹ cutoff point of lower bound of confidence interval (< 1.67 m) obtained from participants for height variable; ² cutoff point for upper bound of confidence interval (≥ 1.67 m) obtained from participants for height variable; ³ cutoff point of lower bound of confidence interval (< 5 years) obtained from participants for duration of training; ⁴ cutoff point of upper bound of confidence interval (≥ 5 years) obtained from participants for duration of training; Goodman’s test for contrasts between and within multinomial populations; values between parentheses are relative frequencies. * Statistically significant differences in relation to running, jumping and specific action. # Statistically significant differences in relation to running and jumping. † Statistically significant differences in relation to short. ‡ Statistically significant differences in relation to tall.
