The effect of generalised joint hypermobility on rate risk and frequency of injury in male university-level rugby league players: a prospective cohort study

摘要

BackgroundRugby league is a collision sport where musculoskeletal injuries are common. There has been little research on generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) as a risk factor for injury in rugby league. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of GJH on the incidence of injuries in first and second team rugby league players from one British university.
