Maybe is the correct word as there is of course no way a claim like that could be ever be tested nor proven. I don’t personally have enough knowledge of individual Hibs players to answer that and I am certainly not going to invest time researching a single one of them. The source data doesn’t break it down into time of day or day of week for injuries occurring. Do you have a theory to share? i think the souttar being 'ready' to be injured could be tested - not by me admittedly so your souttar adjusted figure might not be comparing like with like ive already shared the theory in that it might be spurious to adjust for souttar (and that's before you confirmed we might not be comparing like with like anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing 3 players as you suggest would deteriorate our chances a bit more than marginal but then that is about 27%. the 8% is an average over a period of time rather than an individual game the 3 players out refers to the second measure of games missed where we appear to have an additional 13 players not available for selection over the period - that could equate to those players being out at the same time albeit in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person with a very basic understanding of Sports Science is taught and made aware that the training and diet regime are closely related to performance and prevention of injury. Reduced glycogen levels is a prime example where injury is more likely to occur as a result of not enough recovery time and/or a poor diet.

They are fact; based on published data. I added an observation that a change of circumstance for one player would change the numbers, a selective “what if” if you will. The very essence of a supporters forum. You could do the same with any player in the data set but it isn’t an adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of players we have had injured. Edited April 20, 2019 by Jammy T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Shaton Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Just to clarify - to have a valid opinion on this topic you would have to: A Know what happens at Riccarton B Know something about sports medicine / physio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
