Injuries
The article includes a short section on "Injuries," the presence of which implies that netball injuries are in some way unusual or notable. The section doesn't include any evidence that they are. It mentions two injuries in international netball from the last 20 years, neither of which is particularly notable. And its source for which injuries are more common than others is from 1995, which is 28 years ago, and long predates modern training & physio practices.
There is no comparable "Injuries" section (or even links to such) for comparable sports such as basketball, soccer/association football, or Australian rules football, despite these arguably featuring more significant injury concerns.
I therefore propose removing this section. -- Violetine (talk) 03:54, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
:Removal makes sense to me. HiLo48 (talk) 04:41, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
::(after edit conflict ... it took me a while to compose this reply): :Sounds reasonable to me, but I don't know much about the subject. It was added to the article by Doc James in a merge from {{noredirect|Injuries in netball}}, an article written by Rachm97. a Veeeery quick search coughed up [https://sportsmedicine-open.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s40798-020-00290-7 this more recent systematic review], which might be useful but also indicates that data just doesn't seem to be that good on this subject. I'd be OK with an unmerge and update, too. I think we should give it a few days or so. Graham87 05:06, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
::: I think the reason is that the sport was initially designed to be less physically demanding, but the way that it is currently played that isn't the case. But sure. The section seems of little value. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 07:00, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
::::Since the text has been removed, I've nominated the redirect for deletion (or perhaps moving). Graham87 04:32, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
:There is: Volleyball injuries, Common injuries in cricket, and Tennis injuries, however.
