  • *Very likely (≥95%) decreased risk of injury than moderate-low through very-high in the current week.

  • †Likely (≥75%) decreased risk of injury than 2-week average categories moderate-low through very-high.

  • ‡Likely (≥75%) decreased risk of injury than 2-week average acute workload categories moderate-low and moderate-high.

  • §Very likely (≥95%) and likely (≥75%) decreased risk of injury in the subsequent week compared with moderate-high and low.

  • ¶Very likely (≥95%) greater injury risk in the current week than very-low and low, and likely (≥75%) greater injury risk in the current week than moderate-low through high.
