To investigate the prevalence, incidence of players reporting shoulder injuries in a non-probability sample of Italian amateur soccer players. We also wanted to explore the characteristics of injuries, predictive factors and differences between men's and women's leagues.
Cross-sectional study.
Anonymous online survey.
Adult athletes playing on a first team of the Italian National Amateur Soccer League.
Period prevalence, incidence, and characteristics of players reporting shoulder injuries over a soccer season.
Fifty-one out of 431 respondents reported shoulder injuries. The pooled period prevalence was 12.0% (95%CI [9, 15]), with an incidence of .46 (95%CI [.35, .60]) injured/1000 h of players exposure. Goalkeepers were more likely to be injured than outfield players (OR 5.15, 95%CI [2.27, 11.25]). The injury type stated was mainly contusion (n = 22, 43.1%). Among those reporting injuries, thirty-four (66.6%) respondents stated 0-7 days as time loss from sport activity, with no significant difference due to role (p=.161) CONCLUSIONS: Shoulder injuries have a relatively low impact on the participation of adult amateur players in soccer activities. Technical and medical staff need to monitor players after an injury to the shoulder in order to provide appropriate training, prevention of complications and educational programs.
在意大利业余足球运动员的非概率样本中,调查报告肩部受伤的运动员的患病率、发病率。我们还想探究损伤的特征、预测因素以及男子和女子联赛之间的差异。
横断面研究。
匿名在线调查。
意大利国家业余足球联赛一线队的成年运动员。
一个足球赛季中报告肩部受伤的运动员的期间患病率、发病率和特征。
431名受访者中有51人报告肩部受伤。汇总期间患病率为12.0%(95%CI[9,15]),发病率为0.46(95%CI[0.35,0.60])例受伤/1000小时运动员暴露时间。守门员比外场球员更容易受伤(OR 5.15,95%CI[2.27,11.25])。报告的损伤类型主要为挫伤(n=22,43.1%)。在报告受伤的人中,34名(66.6%)受访者表示因伤停赛0 - 7天,因角色不同无显著差异(p = 0.161)。结论:肩部损伤对成年业余球员参与足球活动的影响相对较小。技术和医务人员需要在球员肩部受伤后对其进行监测,以便提供适当的训练、预防并发症和开展教育项目。
