Fifty-five male soccer players organized in three teams, one high and two lower ranking, were followed prospectively during 1 year to register the rate, type and severity of injuries in highly skilled and low-skilled players. The injury rate of the low-skilled players was significantly higher than that of the better players. The reason for this is that low-skilled players play in more competitions. and this is where injuries tend to occur. When we stratified on game/practice, the low-skilled players' excess risk disappeared and no difference was found in the severity of injuries. Different ways of collecting data in epidemiological studies of soccer are discussed and it is concluded that the most precise and accurate collection of data can only be obtained by direct supervision and examination of soccer players in the field.
五十五名男性足球运动员被分成三个队，一队水平较高，两队水平较低。在一年时间里对他们进行了前瞻性跟踪，以记录高技能和低技能球员的受伤率、受伤类型及严重程度。低技能球员的受伤率显著高于水平较高的球员。原因在于低技能球员参加的比赛更多，而受伤往往就发生在这些比赛中。当我们按比赛/训练进行分层时，低技能球员的额外风险消失了，且在受伤严重程度上未发现差异。文中讨论了足球流行病学研究中收集数据的不同方法，并得出结论：只有通过在现场直接监督和检查足球运动员，才能获得最精确准确的数据收集。
