To elucidate the injury profile in Brazilian elite women's football.
Prospective cohort study.
Time-loss injuries, along with match and training exposure, were monitored throughout a full season in four Brazilian elite clubs.
Sixty-three out of 133 players (47 %) sustained 112 time-loss injuries along the season, leading to 0.8 injuries per player on average. The overall injury incidence rate was 5.0 injuries per 1000 h of exposure. Sudden onset injuries occurred at a rate of 4.2/1000 h of overall exposure, with rates of 15.9/1000 h during matches and 2.9/1000 h during training sessions. Forty-eight percent of the time-loss injuries were attributed to non-contact events. Gradual onset injuries accounted for 16 % of the injuries, resulting in a rate of 0.8/1000 h of overall exposure. The most affected locations were knee and thigh (29 % of all injuries for each), followed by ankle (17 %) and hip/groin (13 %). Muscle/tendon was the most affected tissue (47 % of all injuries), followed by ligament/joint capsule (33 %), bone (10 %), and cartilage/synovium/bursa (7 %). Ankle sprains, hamstring strains, and anterior cruciate ligament injuries accounted for over one-third of the injuries. Mild, moderate, and severe injuries account for 40 %, 43 %, and 17 % of cases, respectively. Overall, 18 % of cases were categorized as re-injuries, and 40 % of those occurred within 2 months of the index injury.
This study provides the initial understanding into the injury profile of Brazilian elite women's football. This information should serve as a guiding resource for injury prevention programs.
阐明巴西精英女子足球的损伤情况。
前瞻性队列研究。
在四个巴西精英俱乐部的整个赛季中，监测伤停时间、比赛和训练暴露情况。
133 名球员中有 63 名（47%）在整个赛季中遭受了 112 次伤停时间的损伤，导致平均每名球员 0.8 次损伤。总体损伤发生率为每 1000 小时暴露 5.0 次损伤。突发性损伤发生率为每 1000 小时总暴露 4.2 次，比赛中为 15.9 次，训练中为 2.9 次。48%的伤停时间损伤归因于非接触事件。渐发性损伤占 16%的损伤，导致每 1000 小时总暴露 0.8 次损伤。受伤最常见的部位是膝盖和大腿（各占所有损伤的 29%），其次是脚踝（17%）和臀部/腹股沟（13%）。肌肉/肌腱是受伤最常见的组织（占所有损伤的 47%），其次是韧带/关节囊（33%）、骨骼（10%）和软骨/滑膜/滑囊（7%）。踝关节扭伤、腘绳肌拉伤和前交叉韧带损伤占损伤的三分之一以上。轻度、中度和重度损伤分别占 40%、43%和 17%。总的来说，18%的病例为再损伤，其中 40%发生在首次损伤后的 2 个月内。
本研究首次了解了巴西精英女子足球的损伤情况。这些信息应作为预防损伤计划的指导资源。
