Drew MK, et al. – A scrutiny was carried out of the link between injury and/or illness and success and/or failure in athletic populations (individual and team sports). It was reported that injuries displayed a detrimental impact on the team and individual athletic success. Increased player availability improved the chances of success. Conversely, injuries sustained both before and during competition possibly raised the risk of failure. Hence, injury prevention ought to be prioritized for maximising athletic performance.
