The injury profile of a professional soccer team from the 1976 to 1977 season is compiled in this report. Injuries are spread across all of the playing positions, with midfielders and forwards being most prone to injury. During the entire season of this report, 60 injuries were encountered, 35 during game situations and 25 in practice. The most common injuries noted were foot and ankle sprains, but muscle strains were also frequent. Most injuries were of a minor variety. Seventeen injuries resulted in missed games while 46 injuries resulted in no games being missed. Only one player had an injury which did not allow him to return to play during the season. Although little is written in the American literature concerning soccer injuries, it does appear that the injury potential is much less when compared with that of football. The rapid increase in interest in this sport will require physicians and trainers to become familiar with its specific needs in order to render adequate care and participate in injury prevention programs.
本报告汇编了一支职业足球队在1976至1977赛季的伤病情况。伤病分布在所有比赛位置，中场球员和前锋最容易受伤。在本报告涵盖的整个赛季中，共出现60次伤病，其中35次发生在比赛中，25次发生在训练中。最常见的伤病是足踝扭伤，但肌肉拉伤也很频繁。大多数伤病程度较轻。17次伤病导致球员缺阵比赛，46次伤病未导致球员缺阵。只有一名球员的伤病使他在赛季中无法重返赛场。尽管美国文献中关于足球伤病的记载较少，但与橄榄球相比，足球的受伤可能性似乎要小得多。这项运动兴趣的迅速增长将要求医生和训练师熟悉其特殊需求，以便提供充分的护理并参与伤病预防计划。
