Declarations
:
: We conducted secondary analyses of de-identified national surveillance data that is publicly available for non-commercial research. These data were originally collected by Sport NZ and met all required ethical obligations as detailed in the relevant technical reports [CitationRef removed–CitationRef removed]. Further, the Human Ethics Guidelines of our host institution (Victoria University of Wellington Human Ethics Committee) explicitly waive the need to apply for Human Ethics Committee approval for negligible risk “research involving publicly available documents or information, apart from highly sensitive information, and apart from instances where individuals might be unwittingly identified from such information” (Sect. 4.2b—ExternalRef removed). All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations.
