“…There have been consistent efforts in recent years to determine the causality of a variety of types of football injuries and establish how to deal with them effectively. Readers are directed to relevant papers that discuss diverse traumatic injuries and less common injuries sustained in the competitive environment by both male and female athletes [ 41 – 44 ]. The present study has identified the potential importance of resilience as an important element within the context of injuries in football.…”

Relationship of resilience, anxiety and injuries in footballers: Structural equations analysis

Resilience is a psychological characteristic which enhances personal assets and protects individuals from potential negative effects of various stressors. While this topic has been considered in the separate context of sports injuries and anxiety states, these issues have rarely been considered together. The objective of this study is to analyse the association between motivation to overcome injuries in football and the state of anxiety caused by those injuries. One hundred and eighty-five footballers from Spain were analysed by way of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory questionnaires, and an injury self-registration sheet. Statistical analyses were performed using structural equations. Results showed a direct and positive relationship between the capacity to face up to injuries or potential injuries and to adapt successfully to them for injured footballers, especially when anxiety was considered as a transitory emotional state. In addition, this relationship was stronger in non-injured sportspersons because their resilience capacity was not being impaired by the experience of an injury.

“…With the FIFA 11+, a very successful warm‐up program has been created, which has been proven to reduce the risk of injuries of the lower extremity. Now, there is a need to include heading exercises to this program (Jones, 2014). It is also important that players as well as backyard personnel know more about the symptoms and possible consequences of a concussion or head injury.…”

Football is the only sport in which the ball can be played with the head. Therefore, compared to other ball team sports, head injuries are quite common. Headers and head injuries are dreaded to cause severe neurological impairments in long‐term, but there is still a lack of data on how often headers are performed in different levels and how often head injuries occur. In a prospective cohort study, all heading situations as well as incidents with a propensity of injury (critical incidents) of 45 elite‐level international matches were analyzed using a standardized video analysis protocol and compared to existing data from German professional leagues. A total of 3670 headers were recorded in 4050 match minutes (0.9 headers/minute). A mean of 81.5 headers per game (SD = 18.4) and 3.7 headers per player and match (SD = 0.8) was found. Compared to a cohort group of the German Bundesliga and 2nd Bundesliga, a significant reduction of −33.8 headers per game (p < 0.01) and 1.7 per player and match was found. A total of 18 risk of injury situations were recorded giving a rate per match of 0.4 (SD = 0.6). In comparison to the German league data, this also displayed a reduction. The incidence rate was 266 risk of injury situations per 1000 h match exposure, which was far below the rates of German national data (314/1000 h) and correlated with the frequency of headers performed.

“…The other is the Union of European Football Associations' (UEFA) Champions League Injury Study, (commonly UEFA injury study) that began in 2001 and has involved between 27 and 33 European soccer teams from 10 different countries for a period of 11 seasons. 10 Data from these surveillance systems showed that football injuries vary widely but many authors agree that the majority of injuries affect the lower extremities (60-90%), including the upper leg, knee and ankle, with lower frequencies for the head and neck (15%), trunk (8%) and upper extremities (7%). 8 9 20 21 The most commonly diagnosed injuries are contusions (55%), sprains (15%) and strains (10%), and most (80%) occur from contact with another player; 45-50% of contact injuries result from foul play.…”

Epidemiology of injuries among Italian footballers: the role of the playing field

BackgroundFootball has a higher injury rate compared with other team sports such as rugby, in terms of two main categories: intrinsic (individual) and extrinsic (environmental) factors. The playing field is an extrinsic risk factor which has been poorly investigated in the literature.PurposeThe aim of our study was to define the incidence and risk factors of injuries in a cohort of footballers comparing the role of three different types of playing field (hard court, natural grass or synthetic grass).Study designThis was a cross sectional prevalence study.MethodsThe population comprised footballers recruited by a convenience sample; the instrument used for the survey was an anonymous self-administered questionnaire.Results267 football players were enrolled (average age 23.4±4.8 years), of whom 33.7% (n=90/267) played on hard court, 33.0% (n=88/267) on natural grass and 33.3% (n=89/267) on synthetic grass. The overall incidence of injury was 40.1 (95% CI 34.1 to 46.8) ×1000 person-years of training, with higher values for ankle and knee injuries. Ankle injuries (aOR 0.4; P=0.021) were associated with playing on natural grass as a protective factor, while playing on natural grass seemed to be a risk factor for muscular injuries (aOR 2.3; P=0.026).ConclusionOur study showed a high lifetime prevalence of injury among footballers (57%), in particular among athletes who play and train on a hard court. We have studied a topic poorly investigated previously and provide the opportunity to understand interventions to increase the capacity of stakeholders in preventing injuries.
