Abstract

Correction to: Sports Medicine https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-020-01411-8
Following online publication, concerns were raised regarding presentation of the study’s methodology, data collection and analysis. The reported study represents the retrospective analysis of a set of data that was collected as part of a wider injury and illness surveillance programme (IISP). The retrospective nature of the analysis was not made expressly clear in the original publication, and the following corrections should be noted:
Section 2.2 Participants
The second paragraph of this section refers to ethics approval granted by the Nottingham Trent University Non-Invasive Ethical Review Committee. The ethics approval granted by the Nottingham Trent University Non-Invasive Ethical Review Committee related to the retrospective analysis of previously collected data only. It does not relate to data collection.
Section 2.3 Data Collection
The first paragraph of this section refers to data collection and the recording of injury severity.
Injury severity data were logged based on the number of days that players were unavailable for training and/or match-play. It should be clarified that categorisation of injury severity did not take place at the time of data collection. BS and IV retrospectively categorised the raw data used within the study into minor, moderate, severe, and major categories based on the number of days absent.
The fourth paragraph of this section refers to guidance documents. It should be noted that these documents included the following:
