Exploratory Data Analysis for Predicting Injury in Soccer Players

Abstract

This research work proposes the model foranalysing the outcome for sports injury amongst soccer players.The most important part is to keep the player motivated towards the game while keeping the player away fromthe game for that instance. In this work, we are keeping injury as a dependent variable along with multipleindependent variables affecting the injury. The decision-making model using R is adapted for generating themodel for predicting sports injury. The inclusion of predictive analytics transforms the soccer player’s moves,which after processed using the proposed framework predicts the injury in advance depending upon the lifestyles of the respective soccer player. The majority of the injuries like Cruciate Ligament Rupture, HamstringInjury, Ankle Injury are taken under consideration towards this research work.
