Analysis of sports injuries in academy integrated u-16 and u-18 football players Análisis de las lesiones deportivas en jugadores de fútbol sub-16 y sub-18 integrados en academia
| Resumo: | The problematic of analysis and the possible causes of injuries in football continues to be a topic of extreme relevance. In this sense, the aim of this study was to analyze the injuries of U-16 and U-18 soccer players, according to the category and game position. In this ex post facto study (Quasi-experimental methodology) 111 players participated, belonging to the U-16A (n=25), U16B (n=24), U-18A (n=20), U-18B (n=22), and U-18C (n=20), youth teams of a professional soccer team in the First Division of the Spanish Soccer League. Were considered as independent variables the number of injuries, the body part of the injury, affected tissue, affected side, type of incidence, and occurrence of the injury. To measure the incidence of injuries, official medical reports were considered, by an observer previously trained in recording data. A descriptive analysis of the dependent variables was carried out. To analyze the relationship between variables, Chi-square, Cramer's Phi Coefficient, and Corrected Standardized Residuals were used. The sample distribution was analyzed (Kolmogorov-Smirnov). As the sample presented a non-normal distribution, the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis test were used (SPSS software). The results show the U-18A (X̅=2.55 injuries/player), obtaining significant differences with the rest of the age-categories (exception U-18C). The category does not influence the body part of the injury, the affected side and affected tissue, the type of incidence, and the occurrence of injury. The context influences the body part of injury (p=0.000). On the contrary, there are no significant differences between the affected side, the affected tissue, and the type of incidence. |
