Fewer injuries in girls’ sports when high schools have athletic trainers
Here’s a paper we came across:
FEWER INJURIES IN GIRLS’ SPORTS WHEN HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE ATHLETIC TRAINERS.
From the abstract:
This study demonstrated the effectiveness of AT coverage of high school girls’ soccer and basketball, both in reducing overall and recurrent injury rates and in identifying athletes with concussions.
And in other news, the sky is blue.
The whole paper is worth looking over which you can do here:
