One post about the hypothesis linking EMF and electrical substation impact on #49ers injuries as I have been asked about this a lot the past few days (and I am all for more investigation / studies that examine the impact of any factor on injury risk): 1. The 49ers have practiced next to the substation I believe since 1988, and their injury issues have not been consistently present since then 2. In 2023, the 49ers had a tremendously healthy season in which they had one of the lowest adjusted game lost rankings in the league 3. There isn't any high-quality evidence that demonstrates a link between low levels of EMF and soft tissue injury risk in athletes clinically 4. There are multiple other stadiums / practice facilities next to electrical sub-stations throughout the country where there has not been the same increased injury incidence 5. The increased injury incidence of the 49ers relative to other teams needs to be broken down into traumatic injuries from contact (i.e. ankle fractures) versus non-contact injuries 6. Prior injury history, long distance travel, schedule density, and change in workload have all been shown to be associated with injury
