What the publication reports
The elbow was the most commonly reported injury site, followed by the knee, shoulder and lower back. The review establishes an early evidence base for studying the sport's injury burden and designing prevention research.
Limits and interpretation
The available literature was limited. Different exposure measures and injury definitions make it unsafe to treat every reported rate as directly comparable.
