In this study of adult professional football players, it was notable that only 2 of the 36 players recruited were of >=25 BMI. Therefore, the ability for further analysis of how incidence or injury burden is correlated with various subgroups of body composition variables was limited. For example, in the subgroups of underweight, normal, overweight and obese BMI. Theoretically, it appears sound that there would be a specific BMI threshold of the linear regression model performed. To conceptualise that the higher the BMI, the lower the injury burden even at the extreme end is far-fetched. Grant et al demonstrated in 132 injuries of 55 male collegiate hockey players that players with BMI >=25 kg/m2 had a greater 2.1 times odds of injury compared with players of BMI <25 kg/m2. Sugimoto et al demonstrated in 160 youth female football players that prior musculoskeletal injuries were similarly correlated with higher weight and BMI. Venturelli et al further demonstrated in 84 youth male football players that elevated stature increased the probability of thigh strain. In the military population, Nye et al indicated that the effect of obesity on injury risk is greatest in the 25-34 year-old participants and that there appears to be a dose-response relationship between obesity and musculoskeletal injury risk.
