To report injury epidemiology in youth male academy-level athletes in the United States.
An observational study on injury occurrences and playing time over the 2019 to 2020, 2020 to 2021, and 2021 to 2022 soccer seasons.
Data collected from a single midwestern soccer academy in the United States in partnership with a tertiary care level I pediatric heath institution.
All male youth athletes to have enrolled and participated in the developmental academy during any of the 3 studied seasons.
None. This was an observational study.
Injury rate (incidence per 1000 playing hours), type, location, mechanism (noncontact vs contact), severity, and mode of play (match vs training) in which the injury was sustained.
Overall rate of injury was 3.64 per 1000 h exposure. Injuries of moderate severity (8-28 days of missed playing time) were most common. When stratified by team, injury rates were highest in the U15 (5.15/1000 h) and lowest in the U12 (0.87/1000 h). Most injuries involved muscles of the lower extremities.
Among male youth academy-level soccer athletes in the United States, older players tended to sustain injuries at a higher rate than younger. The lower extremity was the most common injury location, and muscle injuries and most common type. Concussions remain common in this population, accounting for nearly a 10th of all athletic injuries.
Injury epidemiology data from this study add to the growing worldwide pool of data from youth, male, academy-level soccer athletes that will augment development of injury prevention interventions.
报告美国青年男子学院级运动员的损伤流行病学情况。
对2019至2020、2020至2021以及2021至2022足球赛季的损伤发生情况和比赛时间进行的观察性研究。
与一家一级三级儿科健康机构合作，从美国中西部一家足球学院收集数据。
在3个研究赛季中的任何一个赛季注册并参加发展学院的所有男性青年运动员。
无。这是一项观察性研究。
损伤率（每1000比赛小时的发生率）、类型、部位、机制（非接触性与接触性）、严重程度以及受伤时的比赛模式（比赛与训练）。
每1000小时暴露的总体损伤率为3.64。中度严重损伤（错过比赛时间8 - 28天）最为常见。按球队分层时，U15组的损伤率最高（5.15/1000小时），U12组最低（0.87/1000小时）。大多数损伤累及下肢肌肉。
在美国青年男子学院级足球运动员中，年龄较大的运动员受伤率往往高于年龄较小的运动员。下肢是最常见的受伤部位，肌肉损伤是最常见的类型。脑震荡在该人群中仍然很常见，占所有运动损伤的近十分之一。
本研究的损伤流行病学数据增加了全球范围内来自青年、男性、学院级足球运动员的数据池，这将有助于损伤预防干预措施的发展。
