The aim of this study was to make a comparison between players in two age groups in an elite male soccer team regarding injury localisation within the muscle-tendon unit, injury size and muscle group in terms of muscle injuries of the lower extremity.
Cohort study based on data collected from a Swedish elite male soccer team during the seasons 2007-2012. In total, 145 muscle injuries were included. Injury localisation to the tendon or muscle, the size of haematoma and the affected muscle group were assessed using ultrasound. Age comparison was made between younger players (≤23 years) and older players (>23 years).
No difference regarding injury localisation to either the tendon or the muscle, or the size of haematoma between the two age groups was found. However, the older group of players suffered a significantly higher number of injuries to the triceps surae than the younger players (p = 0.012).
In a Swedish team of male soccer players at elite level, there was no difference between players 23 years or younger and players older than 23 years, in terms of injury distribution to muscles or tendons. Players older than 23 years sustained more injuries to triceps surae when compared with players 23 years or younger. The clinical relevance is to pay attention to muscle function of triceps surae in older players and to screen those players who may need an injury prevention programme.

本研究旨在比较一支精英男子足球队中两个年龄组球员在下肢肌肉损伤方面，在肌腱单元内的损伤定位、损伤大小及肌肉群情况。
基于2007 - 2012赛季从一支瑞典精英男子足球队收集的数据进行队列研究。总共纳入了145例肌肉损伤。使用超声评估损伤在肌腱或肌肉的定位、血肿大小及受影响的肌肉群。对年轻球员（≤23岁）和年长球员（>23岁）进行年龄比较。
两个年龄组在损伤定位到肌腱或肌肉以及血肿大小方面均未发现差异。然而，年长球员比年轻球员的小腿三头肌损伤数量显著更多（p = 0.012）。
在一支瑞典精英水平的男子足球队中，23岁及以下球员和23岁以上球员在肌肉或肌腱损伤分布方面没有差异。与23岁及以下球员相比，23岁以上球员的小腿三头肌损伤更多。临床意义在于关注年长球员小腿三头肌的肌肉功能，并筛查那些可能需要损伤预防计划的球员。
