“…Among the main findings, the prevalence of SI was higher in G4, but the absolute distribution of injuries was higher in group G2. In soccer, the manifestation of risk factors related to the occurrence of SI, especially exposure to training, are very common to increase with age 12,22 . The adult group is particularly comprised of high performance athletes, who take part of various regional and national soccer championships.…”

“…The requisition for medical therapeutic treatment was considered if a lesion was diagnosed and/or treated by any of the following professionals: Physiotherapist, General Practitioner, Physician specialized in Sports Medicine or Orthopedics 12 . In turn, the symptoms of the athlete's return to sport activities (asymptomatic or symptomatic) have been recorded after addressing each injury reported 17 .…”

“…Among other features, height, body weight 8 and flexibility 9 are postulated as potential risk factors to the occurrence of SI. Recent studies have been showing that the exposure to causal factors derived from age have been increasing the propensity to MSDs [10][11][12] . Indeed, the incidence of injuries tends to increase with age, and 16-18 y. o. athletes are proving to be as vulnerable to SI as adult players 12,13 .…”

“…Recent studies have been showing that the exposure to causal factors derived from age have been increasing the propensity to MSDs [10][11][12] . Indeed, the incidence of injuries tends to increase with age, and 16-18 y. o. athletes are proving to be as vulnerable to SI as adult players 12,13 . In view of these considerations, several studies have been showing the occurrence of injuries in various age groups, in the following intervals; 4-17 y. o.¹² 18-35 y. o.¹², 6-16 y. o.…”

“…Another objective was to find out which age group is more susceptible to injuries. Considering that SI propensity is proportional to the level of competitiveness demanded in soccer 11,12 , our initial hypothesis was that adult players would show a higher prevalence of sports injuries compared to other categories.…”

Effects of a low‐dose Copenhagen adduction exercise intervention on adduction strength in sub‐elite male footballers: A randomised controlled trial

et al. 2021

Footballers with weak hip adductors are at increased risk of groin injury, and adductor strengthening has been shown to reduce this risk. However, the minimal effective dose of strength training to improve hip adductor strength and mitigate the risk of adductor problems remains unknown. The aim of this randomised controlled trial was to investigate the training and detraining effects of a low‐dose Copenhagen adduction exercise (CA) intervention in sub‐elite male footballers on eccentric hip adduction strength (primary outcome) and peak adductor squeeze strength (secondary outcome). Thirty‐nine male footballers were randomised into two groups: The intervention group completed the CA twice weekly during six in‐season weeks in addition to normal football training, while the control group continued normal football training. Strength testing was performed at weeks 0, 3, 6 (training period), and weeks 7‐9 (detraining period). There was no between‐group difference in eccentric strength at week 6 and 9. There was a significant group by time interaction at 6 weeks (0.52 Nm/kg, 95% CI 0.17‐0.86) and 9 weeks (0.59 Nm/kg, 95% CI 0.25‐0.93) at which the intervention group displayed greater adductor squeeze strength. These results suggest the low‐dose CA intervention is insufficient to modify eccentric hip adduction strength but improves peak adductor squeeze strength.

The ankle is one of the most commonly injured joints in football and represents a signifi cant cost to the healthcare system due to time lost from play. The ligaments that stabilize the ankle joint determine its biomechanics, and alterations of those normal biomechanics result from various football-related injuries. Acute sprains are generally treated conservatively, with emphasis placed on secondary prevention to reduce the risk of future sprains and progression to chronic ankle stability. Repetitive ankle injuries in footballers may cause chronic ankle instability, which include both mechanical ligamentous laxity and functional changes. Chronic ankle pathology often requires surgery to repair ligamentous damage and remove
