Floorball goaltending movements during a game: A quantitative observational study.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMore knowledge about floorball goalkeepers' game movements and biomechanical demands is warranted. Therefore, the aim of this study was to observe type and frequency of female floorball goalkeepers' movements during a game.
methodsTwelve female goalkeepers (mean age 22 years) were included. An observational study design using video recording was used to explore goalkeepers' movements during a game. Three different positions were reported in minutes, percent of playing time, and the number of times the goalkeepers performed different movements.
resultsThe results revealed that of total playing time, goalkeepers were playing on their knees 31% (± 10%) of the time, in quadruped position 1.3% (± 1.9%) and 67% (± 11%) they played standing. Five movements were performed more frequently; short side movements, pull, stand up, small rotation with legs, and longer ball covers at the goalpost. A large variation in movement was seen regarding how many and what type of movements each goalkeeper performed during the game.
conclusionFloorball goalkeepers perform a high number of movements and spend a substantial amount of the match time on their knees. There is no existing research on how these game aspects may impact load as well as physical needs, emphasizing the need for further research. Knowledge from the study lays the groundwork for further studies and may be used when developing future preventive training programme and rehabilitation.
