“…Most of the MSIs encountered in youth male athletes are traumatic and non-contact MSIs related to the thigh (21,22). In addition, muscle strains are the most common MSI type (18,23). The effect of the muscles of the thigh region in performing activities such as acceleration, deceleration, directing the ball and adjusting the speed of the ball may explain the high injury rates of these muscles (24).…”

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the success of functional movement screening (FMS) tests performed at the beginning of the season in youth male players for predicting musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) that occurred in the same season.Methods: Fifty seven elite youth male soccer players were included in the study. Age, height and body weight of the participants were 15.95±2.44 years, 170.87±12.67 cm and 61.28±13.69 kg, respectively. Medical records of the participants for the 2016-2017 season were investigated retrospectively. FMS tests results conducted at the beginning of the season and MSIs encountered in the relevant season were recorded.Results: Inline lunge, active straight leg raises, and composite FMS scores were statistically different (0.05˃p) according to age groups. The composite FMS score increased with increasing age. The results revealed that no FMS test score can predict the rate of MSI that may occur during the season (p˃0.05). Conclusion:It has been observed that composite FMS score increases with age. It can be said that FMS test scores at the beginning of the season provides useful information in determining musculoskeletal system asymmetries and dysfunctions but it cannot be used to predict injuries that occur during the season in youth male soccer players. In addition, the study results indicated that the composite FMS score is not a factor that increases the time loss, but that asymmetries can be a factor that increases the time loss.

“…Some research has attempted to address the risks associated with youth participation in high-level football. A systematic review by Jones et al ( 2019 ) concluded that high-level youth players have a high probability of sustaining a time-loss injury and, consequently, lose large portions of their seasonal development. However, no research within the review included a matched comparator group of diversified sports players tracked prospectively to compare training, match and overall injury incidence rates.…”

“…Given the physical activity recommendations and the current commitment required by young academy players, if managed appropriately, there would appear to be ample time to engage in age, stage, and developmentally appropriate activities in addition to the structured academy programme. Of course, as intensity and physical demands increase, training loads should be monitored to maximise athletic development and minimise the risk of overtraining and injury, especially during rapid growth periods (Wrigley et al, 2012 ; Jones et al, 2019 ; Materne et al, 2020 ).…”

There is a growing debate, both in the academic and sporting worlds, about the most appropriate pathway for high potential young players in sport. In this regard, there has been a considerable focus on the age of selection into structured talent development pathways and the nature of the experience once players have been recruited. Given the economic and reputational currency associated with developing professional footballers in particular, it is unsurprising that professional football clubs continue to invest significant financial resources into their academy structures. Understandably, this recruitment policy has attracted substantial attention within the media and research community, with ethical concerns arising surrounding the impact early selection may have on the welfare and the experiences of the young players within the pathway. The aim of this perspective article was to critically consider the research underpinning the early engagement practises of football clubs and the extent to which, and how, the pathway can provide players with the most appropriate starting point for their development. This evidence points to the need to look beyond the prevalent ‘early specialisation vs. diversification’ debate in youth sport towards a consideration of an early engagement perspective that reflects the biopsychosocial influences on talent development and the socio-political environment that influences decisions. We provide practical recommendations focused on the quality of the early engagement experience.

“…Injuries affect the youth football player’s development, health and possibly burden club/parental finances and healthcare systems. 1 One potential modifiable risk factor for injuries in senior football is rapid increases in external training load (TL) (ie, the physical work to which the athlete is exposed 2 such as distance performed at different speeds), 3 and internal TL (ie, the physiological and psychological response to external 2 TL such as session rate of perceived exertion (S-RPE)). 4 Worth noting is that the majority of the studies conducted on TL and injuries have shown methodological problems, and no study has yet been able to prove a causal relationship between TL and injuries.…”

ObjectivesElite youth football players miss out on a large part of seasonal training due to injury. Limited research suggests an association between external and internal training load (TL) and injury incidence in elite youth football. This study analysed external and internal TL variables and their association with injury incidence in a group of male elite youth football players over four seasons.MethodsMeasures of external and internal TL and injury incidence of 56 male elite youth football players (age 17–19 years) were collected throughout four seasons. Heart rate, session rating of perceived exertion andGlobal Positioning System (GPS) variables were analysed. Individual players’ TL during the 30 days leading up to injury was compared with 30-day injury-free control periods. Change in TL through the periods was also analysed.ResultsEighty-five injuries were included for analysis, showing that for most TL variables, the average levels were significantly lower during the period leading up to injury. Significant increases for the majority of TL variables were also found during the periods leading up to injury, while the control periods did not show any significant change.ConclusionA lower and/or increasing average TL volume over 30 days might increase the risk of injury in male elite youth football players. Avoiding long-term drops in TL and balance increases in TL might be beneficial to reduce injury risk.
