Brief Summary

The aim of our study is to obtain data on the occurrence of injuries, their mechanisms and types among children and adolescents from a youth soccer club. In addition, in order to determine the potential risk of injury, the investigators will examine the prognostic factors on the basis of tests assessing the antropometric, anatomical, physical and fitness characteristics.

Conditions

Musculoskeletal Diseases; Athletic Injuries

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The incidence of sports-related injuries in youth athletics

  Injury incidence rates were calculated per 1000 player hours (matches and training) According to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies;

  Injury incidence rates were calculated per 1000 hours of play over the 12-month prospective follow-up

• The incidence of recurrent sports-related injuries

  According to a consensus statement on injury definitions and data collection procedures in soccer studies;

  Recurrent injuries incidence rates were calculated per 1000 hours of play over the 12-month prospective follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (9)

• Injury severity

  Injury severity were calculated per days of rehabilitation over the 12-month prospective follow-up

• Injuries according to location

  Description of the number of injuries according to location of the injury on the body over the 12-month prospective follow-up

• Injuries according to type of the injury

  Description of injuries according to the type of the injury over the 12-month prospective follow-up

• Muscle flexibility and range of joint motion

  over the 12-month prospective follow-up

• Peak Height Velocity

  over the 12-month prospective follow-up
