Background:
Although the incidence of football injuries should relate to team success there is little empirical evidence.
Objective:
We investigated the relationship between injury incidence and team success in Qatar first-division football clubs.
Methods:
Using a prospective cohort study design, we captured exposure and injuries in Qatar male elite football for a season. Club performance was measured by total league points, ranking, goal scored, goals conceded and number of matches won, drawn or lost.
Results:
Lower injury incidence was strongly correlated with team ranking position (r=0.929, p=0.003), more games won (r=0.883, p=0.008), more goals scored (r=0.893, p=0.007), greater goal difference (r=0.821, p=0.003) and total points (r=0.929, p=0.003).
Conclusions:
Lower incidence rate was strongly correlated with team success. Prevention of injuries may contribute to team success.

Coefficient of Correlation
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the strength of the linear...
