Data-Driven Injury Reduction in the NFL

About this course

The NFL has developed injury reduction strategies that can be broadly applied to address other levels of play. Some strategies include changes to methods for reporting injuries, developing best practices for training camp session progression, recommending appropriate footwear and helmet choices, and providing injury risk reduction education to club personnel at all levels. These strategies can be used to reduce some of the most common injuries, including soft tissue strains, ACL tears and concussions. This course will describe the integration of injury surveillance data, wearable technologies, and equipment data to inform evidence-based strategies and interventions to reduce injury risk. We will also discuss strategies to engage and involve relevant stakeholders (e.g., coaches, medical staff, strength and conditioning personnel, nutritionists, etc) in efforts to support and progress player safety.
