They had most players injured to be fairWhat I find interesting is that Sky Sports skewed these stats to suggest that Man United were the most unfortunate team in terms of injuries.

Newcastle 1,871 days (37 total injuries)How do you know, the study doesn't specify number of individual players?
It specifies number of injuries, which they are the highest, but I imagine Luke Shaw contributes for half of that number himself.
Surely the 'days injured' figure is the most valid of all, and that is the one Sky Sports should have focused on. Especially when Newcastle United are way ahead in that respect.
Newcastle 1,871 days (37 total injuries)
Arsenal 1,466 (35)
Everton 1,423 (37)
Manchester United 1,348 (39)
Took the injuries to mean individuals, could have been one player getting injured 39 times, maybe it should have shown how many players it effected. But dont really think that Sky made such a big thing of it
Manchester United suffered the most injuries of any Premier League side last season, a study has revealed.
Louis van Gaal's side had a total of 39 players sidelined throughout the campaign, but the club still managed a top four finish in the Premier League.
United suffered most of their injuries in the first third of the season as Van Gaal struggled to adapt to the English top flight in his first season in charge, but last-day survivors Newcastle lost the most days through injury with a staggering 1,871, a total 405 days higher than second-place Arsenal.
would it imagine its a KPI of the clubs fitness teams and so they do record itIt was their main story at one point, if that isn't making a big deal out of it I don't know what is.
But yeah, the study should have shown how many individual players succumbed to injury.
But I always wonder how they gather this information anyway. Surely most of it must just be guess work based on official team news and reports etc.
Or does our physio log all injuries somewhere?
So very impressed by the physios and sports science team. They've found that happy medium of recovering the players in a short time and still allowing room for Poch and co to increase the workload and keep the up tempo style.
Wow. Between this and the scouting overhaul, it's like Baldini made us into a professional footballing outfit. Which does not fit the narrative bandied by fans who are convinced the Bale window is entirely his fault, and the one by Levy who essentially threw the blame Baldini's way during the board to board meetings with THSTWorth mentioning an awful lot of this is down to Baldini. Revolution was required on many levels behind the scenes, and he was the driving force behind most of it.
* And no he didn't buy Soldado, Paulino or sodding Capoue*
Can you explain what each of them do?Haven't update this thread in a while but wanted to give to the fitness staff. I was looking at several pre-season pics and saw two pieces of equipment that are amazing and very applicable to sports performance.
One was the Exxentric Kbox

and the other was the
Nordbord Hamstring Testing System (which you can see Janssen using on the OS in his pics)

I have used the Kbox and it was eccentric training is a great way to prevent injury and improve performance. I have only read about the Norbord and most journals/reviews are overwhelmingly positive about it use and function.

That actually looks painful.
And from the looks of the photo, that's attached to his dick? Sounds like a very bad idea.
