Injury Patterns in Krav Maga Training: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study, conducted from July 2023 to January 2024, examines injury patterns and associated risk factors among Krav Maga athletes to develop tailored prevention strategies for this unique martial art. A survey of 109 participants revealed that 65 injuries were reported, with 59.6% caused by actions from another individual and 24.8% (27 cases) being self-inflicted. The most frequently injured areas were the lower limbs (42 participants, 38.5%), torso (19 participants, 17.4%), and upper limbs (19 participants, 17.4%). Sprains or ligament tears were the most common diagnosis, accounting for 35 cases (32.1%), followed by fractures in 24 cases (22%). Participants ranged in age from 10 to 65 years, with males (95 participants, 87.2%) experiencing more injuries than females. Significant disparities were noted in injury rates based on training intensity (p < 0.05). Recovery periods varied, with 21 participants (19.3%) reporting durations exceeding 30 days. These findings underscore specific injury patterns and risk factors in Krav Maga, highlighting the importance of tailored prevention strategies focusing on flexibility, strength, and proper techniques to reduce injury risks.
