Abstract

Injuries are a common occurrence in football. Sufficient epidemiological data are available in professional football but not in salaried semi-professional football. This study investigates the injury incidence at different levels of semi-professional football with focus on junior football. The data were based on injury reports provided by players and medical staff over the 2015-2016 season, which corresponded to the consensus statement for data samples in football. This study investigated the injury incidence and prevalence of five skill levels of semi-professional football (the fourth to the seventh league and elite junior football). 1130 players had sustained 2630 injuries over the 2015-2016 season. The overall injury incidence was 9.7 per 1000 h football exposure; prevalence with at least one injury was 79%. The highest overall injury incidence in elite junior football was 10.4 in 1000 h football exposure. The fifth league had the lowest incidence with 9.0 in 1000 h football (p < 0.05). Traumatic injuries most often occurred in the fourth league (3.9 in 1000 h football). The body areas most affected by traumatic injury were knees, ankles and thighs. Elite junior players had a significantly higher incidence of overuse complai...Continue Reading
