Multiple comparisons between the injury risk mitigation pooled effects of the different IPPs and with the control group The findings of this second part inform that most of the IPPs exhibit either statistically significant effects or values close to being statistically significant (according to their upper 95%CIs that are approaching the value of 1) injury risk mitigation effects (overall, lower extremity and ankle injuries) when compared to their respective control groups ( Figure 3a,b ,e).
