One-hundred-and-two high-level players of the field-games soccer, Gaelic football and hurling began a two-year investigation into the intrinsic causes of sports-injuries; 86 completed the study. During the first year all injuries, and the time affected by injury, were recorded. The subjects then underwent flexibility tests, an accurate photogrammetric assessment of posture, measures of speed and acceleration, and a clinical assessment of anatomical and physiological factors thought to be associated with the risk of sports injury. Time affected by injury was then recorded for a further 12-month period. Stepwise multiple-regression analysis revealed that the number of days of injury during the second 12-month period could be predicted from (1) the days of injury during the first 12-month period, (2) posture, (3) acceleration over 10m from a standing start, and (4) the number of musculo-skeletal clinical defects. Flexibility scores were not found to be significant predictors of injury. It is suggested that injury prevention programmes should concentrate on improving posture and the rehabilitation from previous injury rather than flexibility; and that research should be undertaken into the effectiveness of such interventions.
102名参与足球、盖尔式足球和曲棍球等田径项目的高水平运动员开始了一项为期两年的关于运动损伤内在原因的调查；86人完成了该研究。在第一年，记录了所有损伤情况以及受伤时间。然后，受试者接受了柔韧性测试、姿势的精确摄影测量评估、速度和加速度测量，以及对被认为与运动损伤风险相关的解剖学和生理学因素的临床评估。随后在接下来的12个月期间记录受伤时间。逐步多元回归分析显示，第二个12个月期间的受伤天数可以从以下因素预测：（1）第一个12个月期间的受伤天数；（2）姿势；（3）从站立起跑开始10米的加速度；（4）肌肉骨骼临床缺陷的数量。柔韧性得分未被发现是损伤的显著预测因素。建议预防损伤计划应专注于改善姿势和先前损伤的康复，而非柔韧性；并且应开展关于此类干预措施有效性的研究。
