Case Study: Hull City reduces injury incidence and wins the League One Championship with Zone7

Hull City cuts injury incidence by 54% with Zone7

Hull City began working with Zone7 in March 2020, initially during a validation period. The club was presented with a retrospective analysis of injury propensity, which served as a case study to demonstrate the capabilities of Zone7's data science and injury risk prediction service.

The solution from Zone7 involved providing the club with invaluable data science expertise and insights into player injury risk, which was particularly crucial during the 2020/21 season. This compressed season required players to perform frequently under significant fatigue. As a result of implementing Zone7, Hull City saw its injury incidence drop dramatically from 35.31 to 16.09 per 1000 hours. The club also achieved promotion, winning the League One championship with 89 points.
