The influence of injuries on team performance in football has only been scarcely investigated.
To study the association between injury rates and team performance in the domestic league play, and in European cups, in male professional football.
24 football teams from nine European countries were followed prospectively for 11 seasons (2001-2012), including 155 team-seasons. Individual training and match exposure and time-loss injuries were registered. To analyse the effect of injury rates on performance, a Generalised Estimating Equation was used to fit a linear regression on team-level data. Each team's season injury rate and performance were evaluated using its own preceding season data for comparison in the analyses.
7792 injuries were reported during 1 026 104 exposure hours. The total injury incidence was 7.7 injuries/1000 h, injury burden 130 injury days lost/1000 h and player match availability 86%. Lower injury burden (p=0.011) and higher match availability (p=0.031) were associated with higher final league ranking. Similarly, lower injury incidence (p=0.035), lower injury burden (p<0.001) and higher match availability (p<0.001) were associated with increased points per league match. Finally, lower injury burden (p=0.043) and higher match availability (p=0.048) were associated with an increase in the Union of European Football Association (UEFA) Season Club Coefficient, reflecting success in the UEFA Champions League or Europa League.
Injuries had a significant influence on performance in the league play and in European cups in male professional football. The findings stress the importance of injury prevention to increase a team's chances of success.
伤病对足球球队表现的影响尚未得到充分研究。
研究男性职业足球中，国内联赛和欧洲杯比赛中，伤病发生率与球队表现之间的关系。
对来自 9 个欧洲国家的 24 支足球队进行了 11 个赛季（2001-2012 年）的前瞻性随访，包括 155 个队赛季。记录了个体训练和比赛的暴露时间以及伤病导致的非比赛时间损失。为了分析伤病发生率对表现的影响，使用广义估计方程对团队数据进行线性回归拟合。在分析中，使用每个球队前一个赛季的数据来评估该球队当赛季的伤病发生率和表现，进行自身比较。
报告了 7792 次受伤，涉及 1026104 次暴露时间。总受伤发生率为 7.7 次/1000 小时，受伤负担为 130 个受伤日/1000 小时，球员比赛出勤率为 86%。较低的受伤负担（p=0.011）和较高的比赛出勤率（p=0.031）与较高的最终联赛排名相关。同样，较低的受伤发生率（p=0.035）、较低的受伤负担（p<0.001）和较高的比赛出勤率（p<0.001）与联赛比赛中得分增加相关。最后，较低的受伤负担（p=0.043）和较高的比赛出勤率（p=0.048）与欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）赛季俱乐部系数的增加相关，这反映了在欧冠或欧联杯比赛中的成功。
伤病对男性职业足球的联赛表现和欧洲杯比赛表现有显著影响。研究结果强调了预防伤病对于提高球队成功机会的重要性。
