“…The ankle and knee were the most affected areas in this region. This is consistent with the literature, with the ankle and knee being the unchanging localization of football injuries, whether professional or amateur [6,10,11]. In our study, different from the literature, we also detected a high frequency of thorax injuries.…”

IntroductionFootball is the most popular sport in the world with its wide audience and important economic effects. This game is mainly played by professional football players, it is also an activity that is frequently played by nonprofessionals. Although members of the public mostly engage in this sport as a hobby and to develop a healthy lifestyle, vital injuries, such as head and thorax trauma can also occur during these recreational activities. In this study, our aim was to identify these severe traumas, investigate their causes and mechanisms, and make suggestions to reduce trauma among recreational football players. MethodsThis prospectively designed study included players aged over 14 years who presented to the emergency department with an injury incurred during a recreational football match activity. The demographic characteristics of the patients, warm-up status, match conditions, field conditions, and injury mechanisms, as well as post-injury outcomes, were recorded and analyzed with appropriate statistical methods. ResultsThere were 167 patients included in the study and 140 of these patients were eligible for the study. We identified 45 cases with poor outcomes such as pneumocephalus, rib fractures, pneumothorax, Achilles tendon rupture, and bone fractures. (32.1%). Factors that could have an effect on poor outcomes were determined as a pre-match warm-up, pre-match sleep duration, and suitability of equipment. Player-toplayer contact was determined as a mechanism of head and thorax trauma. ConclusionsIt may be beneficial to inform recreational football players about how player-to-player contact can cause head and thoracic trauma and establish a database of sports injuries in hospitals.

“…It is indicated in various studies that head and face traumas in soccer players are 2.2-8.3% 8,12,18 and the concussion rate is 0.06-0.6/1000 participation hours. 9,19,20 It was determined that 5 (16%) of the 32 retired soccer players we included in the study experienced head trauma resulting in concussion (4 of them for one time, one of them for 2 times).…”

“…Although not much, there are also head and face traumas among these injuries. [8][9][10][11] Concussions constitute the most important part of the head and face traumas. 12 Soccer is a sports branch that is open to chronic microtraumas, in addition to acute head traumas.…”

Introduction: It is well-known that pituitary dysfunction can develop as a result of traumatic brain injuries. One reason for such injuries is collision during contact sports. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of heading the ball and concussion on pituitary function in retired soccer players. Methods: Thirty-two retired soccer players, with an average age of 43.38 ± 5.49 (35-59) and 26 sedentary individuals with an average age of 43.31±6.38 (35-59) were included in this study. The subjects were questioned about their soccer-playing background, history of head trauma and concussion, and cardiometabolic diseases. One day one, blood samples were taken to investigate the baseline hematologic and biochemical parameters. On day two, the ACTH stimulation test was conducted, and on day three, glucagon stimulation tests were carried out. Resting EKG, transthoracic ECHO and exercise stress tests (for MET values) were also conducted. For the statistical analysis, The Student's t-test was used to compare the results of the two groups. The level of significance adopted was p<0.05. Results: It was identified that 5 out of 32 soccer players (16%) had experienced concussion during their soccer careers. The growth hormone (GH) levels of 3 retired soccer players (9.2%) and 3 sedentary individuals (10%) was below 1 ng/dl, which was accepted as the threshold value. There were no significant differences between hematological, biochemical and cardiometabolic parameters of the soccer players with low GH levels and those with normal GH levels. There was no significant relationship between the number of headers performed and GH deficiency. Conclusion: Although low GH levels were detected in almost 10% of the retired soccer players, the frequency of hypopituitarism was not higher than in the sedentary control group. Level of evidence I; Prognostic Studies.

“…Cromwell et al (2000), in the study in which they evaluated the efficiency of the system of education to prevent the neuromuscular risk factors that may cause injuries in the footballers playing in U13-U18 teams, determined the rate of injuries observed in the lower extremity as 77%. Bayraktar et al (2011), in the study they evaluated the injuries having occurred in Turkish National Men's Football Team between January 2005 and December 2005 in terms of anatomical regions, frequency and incidence mechanism, determined that 80.6's% of the injuries had occurred in lower extremity and the most frequent injured region had been femur (25%).…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate the musculoskeletal disorders observed in footballers with regard to dominant foot preference. The research sample consists of 40 volunteer male footballers with an age range of 14–18, who are students at Aydın İncirliova Sport High School in the school year of 2018–2019. “Waterloo Handedness Questionnaire Revised” developed by Elias et al. (1998) has been used in the study to determine the footballers’’ dominant foot preferences. The questionnaire was translated into Turkish by Özsu (2006). Musculoskeletal disorders observed in footballers have been determined by the Turkish version of the Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire. The questionnaire was translated into Turkish and made practicable for Turkish users by being tested by Erdinc and et al (2011). The data were evaluated with SPSS 22.0 package program in 95% confidence range and 0.05 significance level. With the statistical analysis done in the study, it has been determined that there has been no statistically significant difference between the footballers in terms of upper extremity injuries (p>0.05). When the injuries seen in lower extremities have been examined, it has been determined that there has been statistically significant difference in terms of injuries seen in left upper leg, left knee and left lower leg (p<0.05). Within the lights of the findings obtained in the study, it has been concluded that the dominant foot preferences of the footballers have not affected the injuries seen in upper extremity but they have affected the injuries seen in some regions of the lower extremity (left upper leg, left knee and left lower leg). In addition to the known preventive precautions to avoid injuries in young footballers, it can also be recommended to strengthen sufficiently not only the dominant foot but also the non-dominant one.
