Assessing Stride Variables and Vertical Stiffness with GPS-Embedded Accel-erometers: Preliminary Insights for the Monitoring of Neuromuscular Fatigue on the Results: All sport participation characteristics were dependent on sport category (p < 0.05). Weekly intensity,
load and strain were dependent on age (p < 0.05). Racket and individual sports were associated with
lower injury risk (HR = 0.37 and 0.34, p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively) compared to team sports.
Average sport participation characteristics were not related to injury according to the survival analysis.
However, intensity during the week prior to injury was significantly higher (p < 0.01) compared to that
of the 4 preceding weeks.
