Football is a popular sport among adolescent females. Given the rate of injuries in female footballers, identifying factors that can predict injuries are important. These injuries are often caused by complex reasons. The aim of this study was to investigate if the combination of demographic (age, number of training and match play hours/week), psychosocial (perceived stress, adaptive coping strategies) and physiological factors (functional performance) can predict a traumatic injury in adolescent female footballers. A cohort consisting of 419 female football players aged 13-16 years was established. Baseline questionnaires covered potential risk factors for sport injuries, and measurements included football-related functional performance tests. Data were collected prospectively with a weekly online questionnaire for 52 weeks covering, e.g., injuries, training, and match play hours/week. A total of 62% of the players reported at least one traumatic injury during the 52 weeks. The coping strategy "positive reframing" had the strongest association with the risk of traumatic injuries. The combination of more frequent use of the coping strategy, positive reframing, and high levels of physical performance capacity may prevent a traumatic injury in adolescent female footballers. Coaches are encouraged to adopt both physiological and psychological factors when preventing injuries in young female footballers.
足球是青少年女性中很受欢迎的运动。考虑到女足球员受伤的比例，确定哪些因素可以预测受伤非常重要。这些伤害通常由复杂的原因引起。本研究的目的是调查人口统计学因素（年龄、训练和比赛每周的小时数）、心理社会因素（感知压力、适应应对策略）和生理因素（功能表现）的组合是否可以预测青少年女足球员的创伤性损伤。建立了一个由 419 名年龄在 13-16 岁的女足球员组成的队列。基线问卷涵盖了运动损伤的潜在风险因素，测量包括与足球相关的功能表现测试。数据通过每周一次的在线问卷进行前瞻性收集，涵盖了 52 周内的受伤、训练和比赛每周的小时数等内容。共有 62%的球员在 52 周内报告了至少一次创伤性损伤。应对策略“积极重新构建”与创伤性损伤的风险相关性最强。更频繁地使用应对策略、积极重新构建和高水平的身体表现能力的组合可能会预防青少年女足球员的创伤性损伤。鼓励教练在预防年轻女足球员受伤时同时考虑生理和心理因素。
