| Outcomes* | Low–moderate (1–3), n=7 | High (4–5), n=70 | P values† |
| Injury burden‡ | 209.6 | 112.6 | 0.029 |
| Incidence of severe injuries§ | 1.6 | 1.0 | 0.028 |
| Training attendance (%) | 79.1 | 84.1 | 0.045 |
| Match availability (%) | 83.9 | 87.7 | 0.178 |
Values represent the medians in each group.
*Communication quality was classified as low, moderate or high, based on overall questionnaire scores.
†Significance was based on Kruskal-Wallis tests.
‡Injury burden=number of days of absence per 1000 hours of exposure (Σ days of absence/Σ hours of exposure ×1000).
§Incidence of severe injuries=number of severe injuries (resulting in >28 days of absence from trainings and matches) per 1000 hours of exposure (Σsevere injuries/Σexposure hours×1000).
