“…They also differ from other major FIFA championships, where the frequency of contusions has reached 59% (7) . These regional differences in muscle strain prevalence suggest differences in the quality of physical training and corroborate the hypothesis that Brazilian competition is more physically demanding (1,13,19) . However, more studies are needed to substantiate this hypothesis, especially since we live in a tropical country and other factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic, can influence the occurrence of these injuries (1) .…”

Objective: To evaluate the profile of foot and ankle injuries in professional soccer. Methods: Data were collected prospectively during the 2016 São Paulo Soccer Championship using two electronic forms: an initial form (10 variables) and a follow-up form (6 variables). The results were standardized and evaluated in SPSS 23.0. Results: A total of 259 injuries were reported: 106 to the thigh (40.9%), 42 to the foot and ankle (16.2%), 39 to the knee (15.1%), 39 to the head or face (15.1%) and 33 in other locations (12.7%). Of the 42 foot and ankle injuries, 20 were lateral ankle sprains (47.6%), 5 were medial ankle sprains (11.9%), 3 were to the triceps surae (7.1%), 3 were leg contusions (7.1%), 3 were foot contusions (7.1%), 2 were myalgias (4.8%), in addition to 5 other types (11.9%). There was physical contact in 73.8% of the injuries (p <0.001), and six injuries (14.3%) were considered severe, i.e., involving a time loss of at least one month. Of the severe injuries, four were treated surgically (three by osteosynthesis and one by tenorrhaphy). The mean time loss due to injury was 19.7 days, and the overall incidence rate was 3.5 injuries per 1000 hours of exposure, with 2.1 ligament injuries per 1000 hours. X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging were the most requested tests in the follow-up of these patients. Conclusion: Foot and ankle injuries were the second most frequent injury in Brazilian professional soccer, 73.8% of which resulted from physical contact (p<0.001). Lateral ankle sprains accounted for 47.6% of these injuries, which reaffirms their high prevalence and importance for sports medicine. Level of Evidence III; Prognostic Studies; Prospective Study.

“…In Brazil, the exhaustive training regimen and frequency of matches appear to increase the players' exposure to injuries. Nevertheless, studies on the profile of these injuries are still scarce in the national literature (3,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) . To date, we have found J Foot Ankle.…”

“…In Brazil, there are some studies in the central region of the country [11][12][13] , mostly linked to the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation), which created a model of an epidemiological study of injuries in professional soccer players 2 . Given the differences in performance level, medical support, match frequencies, and weather, it is plausible that the incidence and severity of football injuries may differ among soccer leagues 14 .…”

Introduction: Although the positive effects of physical activity on global health are well documented, sports practice is associated with a greater risk of injury; in professional soccer in particular, the risk is substantial. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of injuries among male athletes competing in the regional soccer championship. The secondary objective was to determine the prevalence of injuries. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, level of evidence II, the incidence and prevalence of injuries were assessed using an adapted version of the UEFA Champions League Study questionnaire. Results: This study included 310 male athletes from ten teams, aged 26.53±4.75 years, height 180.93±6.49 cm, and weight 79.32±8.29 kg, with a 4-month follow-up. Ninety-two injuries were recorded, representing a prevalence of 29.68% injuries. The body part most frequently injured was the lower limbs (86.9%). The main types of injuries were muscle tear/strain (37.0%), sprain/ligament (19.6%), and other injuries (14.1%). The injuries were mainly caused during run/sprint (33.7%), kick (12.0%) and jumping/landing (6.5%). The incidences of injuries were 15.88±8.57, 2.04±1.09, and 3.65±1.50 injuries/1000h of exposure during matches, training, and matches/training, respectively. Time-loss over the season was between 1 and 50 days, and the severity of the injuries was as follows: light (25%), minor (22.8%), moderate (43.5%) and severe (8.7%). Conclusion: This study suggests that there is a higher incidence of injuries during matches compared to training, among male regional soccer championship players. The lower limbs are the body part most affected, with a higher prevalence of rupture/strain in the thigh region, during running/sprinting. Level of evidence II; Prospective Cohort Study .

“…Athletes generally exceed the limits of the body, which can result in various lesions [1][2][3]. In soccer adult players, 60-80% of such lesions are located on the lower extremities especially the knees and ankles [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. In adult athletes, the lumbar region is the most common vertebral lesion site [11].…”

Purpose To assess abnormalities frequency of the lumbar region in asymptomatic young soccer players. Methods Cross-sectional study. Male adolescents from schools of grassroots soccer clubs and non-practicing activity controls were included by convenience. The abnormalities frequency of the lumbar region was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), performed using 1.5T devices with multi-channel coils in model equipment models. The types of lesions evaluated were general, warning signs, instituted, anterior and posterior, and of the column. Comparisons between groups and the relative percentage of each lesion type were compared by Pearson’s chi-squared test and Fischer’s exact test. The inter and intra-observer analyses were compared by the Kappa test. Results Forty-five adolescents were included, of whom 25 (56%) were soccer-practicing teenagers. No significant differences were identified between the variables age (P = 0.960) and the body mass index (BMI) Z-score (P = 0.540) between the group of soccer players and the controls. However, the percentages of lesions (general, instituted, anterior and posterior, and in the spinal column) were significantly higher in the practicing football group than in the control group (P = 0.002, P < 0.001, P = 0.012, and P = 0.006, respectively). Conclusion Young adolescent asymptomatic soccer players have more lumbar spine lesions than less active controls who do not practice sports regularly.
