a: Reported rates are based on preliminary data from NATA NATION reported by athletic trainers in participating high schools. Data collection began with 25 schools in 2010-2011 and currently has more than 100 participants in the 2013-2014 academic year.
b: The data from Hootman and colleagues (2007) represent 16 years (1988-2004), except in the case of women's ice hockey for which data collection began in 2000.
c: Data for the period 2004-2009 are from the NCAA Injury Surveillance System. The Datalys Center for Sports Injury Research and Prevention, Inc., assumed management of the NCAA injury surveillance program in 2009.
d: Rate calculated with fewer than 30 raw frequencies.
e: Average of participating teams over the time period.
