Yeah, that's my point. The headline is kinda like saying "most exercise related injuries happen during exercise". Like... Yeah? How else is that supposed to work?

No, it's like saying that most of them happen up to a year later.

The word "after" in the headline means not during, and that's the surprising part

It's just a confusing headline. I know what it's trying to say now.
