This study aimed to investigate the incidence, severity and burden of injury in English elite youth female soccer players. Qualified therapists at six English girls' academies prospectively recorded all injuries that required medical attention or caused time loss for matches and training in 375 elite youth female soccer players (under-10 [U10], U12, U14 and U16) during the 2019/2020 season. One hundred- and eleven time-loss injuries (52 from training, 59 from matches) were sustained, resulting in 1,946 days absent (779 days from training injuries, 1,167 days from match injuries) from soccer activities. The injury incidence for matches (9.3/1000 hours, 95% CIs: 7.2-11.9) was significantly greater than training (1.1/1000 hours, 95% CIs: 0.9-1.5, p < 0.001). Additionally, the injury burden for matches (183 days lost/1000 hours, 95% CIs: 142-237) was significantly greater than training (17 days lost/1000 hours, 95% CIs: 13-22, p < 0.001). Injury incidence and burden were greatest in the U16 age group and were found to increase with age. Whilst injury incidence and burden are greater in matches than training, a large proportion of preventable injuries, soft-tissue and non-contact in nature, were sustained in training. Findings provide comparative data for elite youth female soccer players.
本研究旨在调查英格兰精英青年女子足球运动员的受伤发生率、严重程度和受伤负担。来自六所英格兰女子足球学院的合格治疗师前瞻性记录了2019/2020赛季375名精英青年女子足球运动员（10岁以下[U10]、U12、U14和U16）中所有需要医疗护理或导致比赛和训练时间损失的损伤。共发生了111次导致时间损失的损伤（52次来自训练，59次来自比赛），导致缺席足球活动1946天（训练损伤779天，比赛损伤1167天）。比赛的受伤发生率（9.3/1000小时，95%置信区间：7.2 - 11.9）显著高于训练（1.1/1000小时，95%置信区间：0.9 - 1.5，p < 0.001）。此外，比赛的受伤负担（183天损失/1000小时，95%置信区间：142 - 237）显著高于训练（17天损失/1000小时，95%置信区间：13 - 22，p < 0.001）。受伤发生率和负担在U16年龄组中最高，且随年龄增长而增加。虽然比赛中的受伤发生率和负担高于训练，但在训练中发生了很大比例的可预防损伤，这些损伤多为软组织损伤且是非接触性的。研究结果为精英青年女子足球运动员提供了比较数据。
