By examining total injuries it is possible to see the overall effect of injuries on each club during the season. Those clubs that were unlucky enough to have players that sustained serious injuries such as fractures and cruciate ligament injuries will be towards the higher end of the scale, as these type of injuries require a minimum of six or nine months of rehabilitation.

By just examining muscle injuries it is possible to compare the effects of a type of injury that affects all clubs to a greater or lesser extent. As mentioned earlier, risk factors for muscular injury are divided into intrinsic (within the body) and extrinsic (those outside the body) variables.

Intrinsic risk factors for muscle injury include previous muscle injury, muscle flexibility imbalances, muscle strength imbalances, fatigue, inadequate postural stability and alignment, inadequate nutrition and dehydration. Extrinsic risk factors for muscle injury include the level of competition in relation to the player's skill level, the playing surface, climatic conditions, training methods and an unrealistic playing schedule.
