Identify patterns in the nature and characteristics of potential concussive events (PCEs) in football.
This study analysed the incidence and characteristics of PCEs that occurred during the 2014 and 2018 Fédération Internationale de Football Association World Cups, and the 2016 UEFA Euro Cup. PCEs were defined as direct head collision incidents resulting in the athlete being unable to immediately resume play for at least 5 sec following impact.
A total of 218 incidents were identified in 179 matches (1.22 per match, 36.91 per 1000 hours of exposure). The most common mechanism of PCE was elbow-to-head (28.7%, n=68). The frontal region was the most frequently affected location of impact with 22.8% (n=54).
Our study defined the identification, prevalence and nature of PCEs in professional international soccer tournaments. Our findings indicate the different contexts and mechanisms of head contact and contact to different regions of the head can be associated with varying signs of concussion. The results highlight targets for future injury prevention strategies.
确定足球中潜在脑震荡事件(PCE)的性质和特征模式。
本研究分析了 2014 年和 2018 年国际足球联合会世界杯以及 2016 年欧洲足球锦标赛期间发生的 PCE 的发生率和特征。PCE 被定义为直接头部碰撞事件,导致运动员在受到撞击后至少 5 秒无法立即继续比赛。
在 179 场比赛中确定了 218 起事件(每场比赛 1.22 起,每 1000 小时暴露 36.91 起)。PCE 的最常见机制是肘部到头部(28.7%,n=68)。最常受到影响的冲击部位是额部,占 22.8%(n=54)。
我们的研究定义了职业国际足球锦标赛中 PCE 的识别、流行率和性质。我们的研究结果表明,头部接触的不同情况和机制以及与头部不同区域的接触可能与不同的脑震荡迹象有关。这些结果突出了未来伤预防策略的目标。
