“…The fundamental problem of previous football and other sports injury surveillance research has been the lack of agreement between the studies regarding study design, injury definition, data collection procedures and observation periods [9,13,14,15,19].…”

The risk of injury in football is high, but few studies have compared men's and women's football injuries. The purpose of this prospective study was to analyse the exposure and injury characteristics of European Championships in football and to compare data for men, women and male youth players. The overall injury incidence was fourteen times higher during match play than during training (34.6 vs. 2.4 injuries per 1000 hours, p<0.0001). There were no differences in match and training injury incidences between the championships.Teams eliminated in the women's championship had a significantly higher match injury incidence compared to teams going to the semi-finals (65.4 vs. 5.0 injuries per 1000 hours, p=0.02). Non contact mechanisms were ascribed for 41% of the match injuries. One-fifth of all injuries were severe with absence from play longer than 4 weeks.In conclusion, injury incidences during the European Championships studied were very similar and it seems thus that the risk of injury in international football is at least not -3 -higher in women than in men. The teams eliminated in the women's championship had a significantly higher match injury incidence than the teams going to the final stage.Finally, the high frequency of non contact injury is worrying from a prevention perspective and should be addressed in future studies.

“…The exercises of the program focus on core stabilizations, neuromuscular and proprioception exercises, static and dynamic stabilizations and the development of plyometric skills (40). There is a significant amount of earlier international research that prove the high ratio of injuries in football (30,31,37,48) and the fact that these injuries most frequently occur in the lower extremities (20,21), where the largest single risk factor for the footballers consists of the non-contact injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) (1,22,59). Furthermore, the quality of movement patterns, especially the lower extremity patterns, is an important and modifiable factor that may influence the risk of ACL injury as well as play a critical role in injury mechanism (2,6,14).…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the quality of functional movement patterns among one of Hungary's first league soccer clubs, where the elite male football players (N = 20) utilize the well-established Functional Movement Screen TM (FMS) system; a comprehensive functional program designed to determine and identify the quality of movement and the greatest risk factors for non-contact injuries. Furthermore, an additional purpose of this program is to examine injuries over the course of 6 competitive months. Focusing on the mechanisms of injuries and their causes in the lower extremities during this period is one of the key objectives. Over the course of 6 months we found significant differences between ankle injuries and the FMS Hurdle Step exercise (p < 0.05), and the FMS Deep Squat exercise and knee and hip injuries (p < 0.05). The FMS pre-screening system found lower limb asymmetry present in 40% of the participants. The authors believe that the importance of preventative measures and structural sport specific pre-screening cannot be overemphasized, and that there is a growing need for further transparent research in this field in order to be more effective with regard to programs dedicated to injury prevention and the enhancement players' physical performance.

“…A análise estatística mostrou que não existe correlação entre a idade dos atletas e o tempo de reabilitação (p = 0,31). Dessa maneira, pode-se inferir que os elevados períodos de afastamento de alguns atletas deram-se unicamente devido à natureza de suas lesões, não se relacionando com a idade dos mesmos (6) . Da mesma maneira, os testes estatísticos mostraram não existir diferença significativa entre o tempo de afastamento e a posição ocupada pelos jogadores dentro de campo (p = 0,49); assim, verificamos que atacantes, zagueiros, laterais, meias e goleiros apresentam períodos de reabilitação semelhantes.…”

“…A vasta literatura médica especializada (19)(20)(21)(22) confirma tais dados, uma vez que, dentre as variáveis em estudo, as lesões meniscais são as que mais tempo demandam para sua total reabilitação, principalmente quando associadas a outras lesões. As lesões ligamentares vêm logo a seguir das meniscais e, finalmente, as musculares (1,6,12,(24)(25)(26) . Neste estudo, os dados referentes às lesões ósseas devem ser observados com cautela, uma vez que não encontramos atletas que apresentassem fraturas graves (ossos longos, fraturas expostas, etc.).…”

“…Nos Estados Unidos, o Sistema Nacional de Registros de Lesões Esportivas (NAIRS) classifica as lesões esportivas, segundo o tempo de afastamento do atleta para recuperação, em três graus: lesões menores (de um a sete dias de afastamento), lesões moderadamente sérias (de oito a 21 dias de afastamento) e lesões sérias (acima de 21 dias de afastamento ou com lesões permanentes) (5) . O futebol é a maior causa de lesões em atletas no mundo e estas são responsáveis por 50 a 60% de todas as lesões esportivas na Europa (6,7) . Dentre todos os traumas físicos tratados em hospitais europeus, de 3,5% a 10% são causados pelo futebol.…”

resUmo introdução e objetivos: Vários autores têm investigado a incidência de lesões no futebol, poucos têm-se preocupado com o tempo de afastamento dos atletas ou com os prejuízos financeiros oriundos de tal situação. O objetivo deste estudo foi confrontar, através de um estudo de coorte histórico, o tempo total de afastamento de atletas lesionados com as variáveis: idade, posição dos jogadores e tipo de lesão. métodos: Foram analisados os jogadores de futebol profissional do Marília Atlético Clube que atuaram no Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol -Série B, de 2003 a 2005. As informações foram coletadas através do acesso direto aos prontuários médicos e protocolo de coleta de dados, com um período de seguimento de 24 meses, sendo, posteriormente, realizada a análise estatística. resultados: A idade dos jogadores variou de 18 a 35 anos (24,5 ± 4,4); os jogadores mais freqüentemente lesionados foram: atacantes (36,8%), zagueiros (26,6%), meias (20%), laterais (10%) e goleiros (6,6%); as lesões mais comuns foram: musculares (46,8%), ligamentares (26,6%), ósseas (16,6%) e meniscais (10%); o tempo de afastamento nos atacantes variou de 10 a 240 dias (28 ± 78,3), nos zagueiros de 20 a 120 dias (26,5 ± 33,9), nos meias de 10 a 180 dias (18,5 ± 66,3), nos laterais de 13 a 240 dias (17 ± 129,9) e nos goleiros de 35 a 60 dias (47,5 ± 17,6). conclusão: A análise estatística mostrou não haver correlação entre a idade dos jogadores e o tempo total de afastamento dos mesmos (p = 0,31), não houve diferença significativa entre o tempo de afastamento nas diferentes posições dos jogadores dentro de campo (p = 0,49), houve diferença significativa entre o tempo total de afastamento e os diferentes tipos de lesão (p < 0,001) entre as variáveis: lesões meniscais e ósseas, lesões meniscais e musculares, lesões ligamentares e ósseas e, finalmente, lesões ligamentares e musculares.Palavras-chave: medicina esportiva, lesões no futebol, epidemiologia do futebol, campeonato brasileiro de futebol. ABstrAct introduction and objectives: several authors have investigated the incidence of injuries occurred in outdoor soccer games. However, just a few are concerned about the athletes' healing period or the financial damage due to this no-activity period. The purpose of this study was to assess, through a cohort study, the injured athletes' recovery period, facing it to the variables: age, position in game and injure pattern. methods: The medical reports of all professional soccer players of Marília Atlético Clube who were injured during the Brazilian Soccer Championship -2 nd Division, from January/2003 to December/2005 were assessed, with a 24 months follow-up. results: Athletes' mean age (SD) was 24.5 years (4.4 years); the most frequently injured athletes were: strikers (36.8), center-backs (26.6%), center-midfielders (20%), side-midfielders (10%) and goalkeepers (6.6%). The most frequent injuries were: muscular (46.8%), ligament (26.6%), bone (16.6%) and meniscal (10%); the strikers have shown a mean recovery period of 28 days (78.3 days), th...
