BACKGROUND: Injuries are common in soccer as it is a contact sport. However, longitudinal studies spanning multiple seasons, focused on injuries in female university soccer players in Japan, are lacking. Additionally, broader comparisons on injury patterns remain unexplored. The purpose of this study was to prospectively investigate injuries among female university soccer players over three seasons. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiological study. METHODS: A total of 108 players from a university women's soccer team were included. A qualified athletic trainer assessed injury type (injury or disability), site and severity according to injury occurrence (game or practice) over three seasons. An orthopedic surgeon confirmed the resulting injury. RESULTS: The overall injury rate was 1.62/1000 athlete exposures. The game injury rate (9.86/1000 athlete exposures) was higher than the practice injury rate (1.39/1000 athlete exposures). Sprains were the most common injury in games and practices; concussions and meniscal tears were also common during games. The lower limbs, particularly the ankles and feet, were the most common anatomical injury sites in both games and practices. Severe injuries requiring long-term withdrawal were frequently observed during games and practices. These included anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, meniscal injuries, and severe concussions, all of which necessitated prolonged recovery periods and withdrawal from team activities. CONCLUSION: Injury prevention measures should be prioritized for female university soccer players, especially to address the high injury rate during games and the frequent occurrence of severe injuries.

背景:足球是一项身体接触性运动,损伤在足球运动中很常见。然而,针对日本女子大学足球运动员损伤情况、跨越多个赛季的纵向研究尚属缺乏。此外,关于损伤模式的更广泛比较仍未得到探索。本研究的目的是前瞻性地调查女子大学足球运动员在三个赛季中的损伤情况。 研究设计:描述性流行病学研究。 方法:纳入了一所大学女子足球队的108名球员。一名合格的运动训练师根据三个赛季中损伤发生的情况(比赛或训练)评估损伤类型(受伤或残疾)、部位和严重程度。一名骨科医生对最终损伤进行了确认。 结果:总体损伤发生率为1.62/1000运动员暴露次数。比赛损伤发生率(9.86/1000运动员暴露次数)高于训练损伤发生率(1.39/1000运动员暴露次数)。扭伤是比赛和训练中最常见的损伤;脑震荡和半月板撕裂在比赛中也很常见。下肢,尤其是脚踝和足部,是比赛和训练中最常见的解剖学损伤部位。在比赛和训练中经常观察到需要长期休战的严重损伤。这些损伤包括前交叉韧带(ACL)撕裂、半月板损伤和严重脑震荡,所有这些损伤都需要较长的恢复期并退出球队活动。 结论:对于女子大学足球运动员,应优先采取预防损伤措施,尤其是针对比赛期间的高损伤率和严重损伤的频繁发生。 证据级别:3b。
