“…The result indicates that the maximum number of injury was occurred in defensive and midfield players. In opposite of this study, the previous finding of epidemiological study indicated that the greater prevalence of sports injuries was occurred in strikers (Carling, et al, 2010;Fachina, et al, 2013;Onaka, et al, 2017), while another study shown that equivalent prevalence of injury among all soccer positions (Dauty and Collon, 2011). As presented in table 1, the most predominant occurred injury was strain in a total of 148 injuries all playing positions, while midfield players sustained the maximum numbers of strain (55; 37.2%), followed by strikers (44; 29.7%), defensive players (43; 29.1%) and goalkeepers (6; 4%).…”

The purpose of this study was to show the relationship of injury and injury associated Risk Factors in Ethiopian Premier League Football Players. A prospective cohort study design was employed. 469 male football players from 16 teams of Ethiopian premier league participated using censuses method. FIFA Medical Assessment and Research Centre form used in order to record information about the players, injuries sustained in training sessions and matches during the competitive season. Data was analysed using descriptive and Pearson product moment correlation statistics. The significance level was set at p<0.05. The most predominant injury was strain, the maximum numbers (55; 37.2%) occurred on midfield players, followed by strikers (44; 29.7%), defensive players (43; 29.1%) and goalkeepers (6; 4%). The second predominant injury was sprain, highly occurred in defensive players (21; 42%), and followed by midfield players (16; 32%), strikers (10; 20%) and goalkeepers (3; 6%). Injured body part has a significance positive correlation with age (r = 0.109, r 2 = 0.012, P < 0.021) at P < 0.05, a significance inverse correlation with height (r = -0.154, r 2 = 0.024, P < 0.002) at P < 0.01 and also the same result was observed with playing position (r = -0.228, r 2 = 0.052, P < 0.000) at P < 0.01. The highest prevalence of injury was observed in the middle age, in normal BMI and in outfield players. The midfielders sustained the higher strain injury. The defensive players have higher rates of sprain injury. A significance positive relationship has observed between injured body part and age, height and playing positions, however, insignificance result was observed with injury rate/type. While, inverse significance correlation was observed between injury rate/type and playing position. Therefore, the coaching and medical staffs from football clubs must be emphasize the biological or physiological and psychological characteristics of the players and inadequate rehabilitation after injury to minimize the injury occurred with associated risk factors through improved program for training and fitness evaluation.

“…Several studies have reported soccer injury profiles, including the prevalence, type, severity, location, injured tissue, and injury patterns, in youth and adult players in different countries [ 9 , 10 ]. These characteristics seem to be affected by multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including age, sex, player position, professional status, team division, playing surface, and history of previous injuries [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Player sex may play a role in injury incidence because of the difference between males and females in the nature and demand of sports, the level of sport participation, physiological factors, and psychological factors [ 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”

Background: The factors contributing to soccer injuries and their influence on the occurrence of injury are controversial and inconclusive. This study aimed to determine the association between player characteristics and playing factors with injuries in professional soccer players. Methods: One hundred and fifty-two professional soccer players completed a self-administered questionnaire that asked about demographic information and injury profile, the type of playing surface on which they sustained their injury, medical treatment, and the time lost due to soccer injury at the end of the soccer season. Results: The injury rate was 44.74% (n = 68; males: 61.50% (n = 56), females: 19.70% (n = 12)). Players’ age (OR: 1.15, 95%CI: 1.05–1.25, p < 0.002) and BMI (OR: 1.21, 95%CI: 1.06–1.38, p < 0.003) were significantly associated with soccer injuries. After adjusting for age and BMI, players’ sex (OR: 5.39, 95%CI: 2.11–13.75, p < 0.001), previous soccer injury (OR: 3.308, 95%CI: 2.307–29.920, p < 0.001), and playing surfaces (OR: 11.07, 95%CI: 4.53–27.03, p < 0.001) were the significant predictors of soccer injuries. Conclusion: Players’ age, BMI, sex, previous soccer injury, and playing surface were associated with injuries among professional soccer players. Old male athletes with high BMI, previous soccer injuries, and playing on natural grass were more likely to sustain soccer injuries than young female players with low BMI who had no previous injuries and played on synthetic surfaces.
