This study aimed to investigate age-related injury incidence, severity, and burden over a 3-year period in U14 to U19 elite male soccer players in a German youth academy.
Descriptive epidemiology study.
Time-loss injuries of 166 unique players were prospectively documented and injury incidence, severity, and burden were calculated for each age group, body part, and type of injuries.
A total of 562 time-loss injuries were recorded. Across all age groups (U14 to U19), injury incidence was 42.2 per squad season (ranging from 30.5 in the U19 to 67.7 in the U15), severity was 11.0 days lost (ranging from 8.0 in the U15 to 17.0 in the U17), and burden was 464.1 days lost per squad season (ranging from 304.9 in the U19 to 756.7 in the U14). The thigh, knee and ankle were the body parts with the highest injury incidence (9.2; 5.9; 5.9), severity (11.0; 16.0; 13.0), and burden (101.6; 94.9; 76.1). Cruciate ligament injuries had both the highest burden (164.4) and severity (137.0), and muscle injuries the highest incidence (11.0) of all types of injuries. U15 had the highest injury incidence (67.7) of all age groups. U14 and U17 had both the highest injury severity (15.0; 17.0) and burden (756.7; 618.8) of all age groups. Age-related patterns were observed for selected types of injuries such as muscle injuries, tendinopathy, bone-stress injury, and fractures.
Injury incidence, severity, and burden substantially differed descriptively between age groups and clear age-related patterns for selected types of injuries were evident.
本研究旨在调查德国青年学院 U14 至 U19 年龄段精英男足球运动员三年内的年龄相关损伤发生率、严重程度和负担。
描述性流行病学研究。
前瞻性记录 166 名独特球员的伤停时间损伤，计算每个年龄组、身体部位和损伤类型的损伤发生率、严重程度和负担。
共记录了 562 次伤停时间损伤。在所有年龄组（U14 至 U19）中，损伤发生率为每个小队赛季 42.2 次（U19 为 30.5，U15 为 67.7），严重程度为 11.0 天（U15 为 8.0，U17 为 17.0），负担为每个小队赛季 464.1 天（U19 为 304.9，U14 为 756.7）。大腿、膝盖和脚踝是受伤发生率（9.2；5.9；5.9）、严重程度（11.0；16.0；13.0）和负担（101.6；94.9；76.1）最高的身体部位。十字韧带损伤的负担（164.4）和严重程度（137.0）最高，肌肉损伤的发生率（11.0）最高。所有年龄段中，U15 的损伤发生率最高（67.7）。U14 和 U17 的损伤严重程度（15.0；17.0）和负担（756.7；618.8）最高。观察到了与某些类型的损伤（如肌肉损伤、肌腱病、骨骼压力损伤和骨折）相关的年龄相关模式。
损伤发生率、严重程度和负担在年龄组之间存在显著差异，并且某些类型的损伤存在明显的年龄相关模式。
