*The results are expressed as the mean over time and its 95% highest posterior density credible interval obtained by Bayesian linear mixed models.
†The results are expressed as the average percentage over time and its 95% highest posterior density credible interval obtained by Bayesian linear probability mixed models.
‡The injury rate is expressed as the number of RRIs per 1000 hours of running and its 95% highest posterior density credible interval obtained by Bayesian inference.
