TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - A three year review of injuries to professional footballers (1995-98) and comparison with previous observations (1990-93) JO - Scottish medical journal A1 - McGregor, J. C. A1 - Rae, A. A1 - Melvin, W. D. SP - 17 EP - 19 VL - 45 IS - 1 N2 - A prospective study over a three year period (1995-8) of footballers' injuries in first team players was undertaken in a similar fashion to a previous study (1990-3). During the present study the Club had a major cup success and appeared to have a younger squad with less major injury and subsequent time out of action. As a result of the earlier paper it would appear that some lessons and observations may have been put into action and helped produce a more consistent standard for the club. Increasing recognition of the need to reduce and monitor the levels and types of injuries seems now to be established.
