Reported Muscle Injuries Per Club
2006/07 Season


Total Reported Muscle Injuries per Club: 2006/07

Bar Chart: Total Muscle Injuries by Club

Muscle injuries accounted for more Premiership injuries than any other type of injury. Of the 437 significant Premiership injuries during 2006/07, 158 were muscular injuries, producing an average of 7.9 muscle injuries per team. 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 having a previous muscle injury, muscle flexibility imbalances, muscle strength imbalances, fatigue, inadequate postural stability and alignment, inadequate nutrition and inadequate hydration.

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. The unrealistic playing schedule is the most relevant factor related to Premiership players

As in previous seasons, Newcastle United were most affected by muscle injury, with 20 muscle injuries that kept players out for two weeks or longer. Arsenal and West Ham were also affected badly by muscle injuries during 2006 / 07, with 13 muscle injuries each.
