“…This has made it difficult to synthesise the findings of clinical research in this area. A systematic review of groin injury epidemiological studies highlighted the need for prospective studies to be of higher quality, and report detailed data on specific diagnostic categories 3. A recent consensus meeting standardised the taxonomy and terminology used to describe hip and groin pain, and provided a guideline to be used by clinicians and researchers 15.…”

“…Sports injuries are inherent to the sports practice, and are quite familiar to the majority of athletes, as shown by numerous epidemiological studies [1,2]. In professional or elite football, for example, each player suffers a mean of two sports injuries during a single competitive season [3,4], which causes a significant impact to the club.…”

“…In addition, injuries also have a negative impact on the team's performance. Waldén et al [1] indicate that the higher are the injury rates in elite European soccer, the poorer the team performance is. In addition to the economic and sportive consequences for the clubs, injuries may produce other consequences for the player (need for special practices, loss of fitness, time spent as a substitute, etc.…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to examine the post-injury psychological impact looking to avoid sources of health issues. We have analyzed differences in the stress, anxiety, and depression levels between male and female football players who have suffered at least one injury during the last season played, with respect to similar players who have not been injured. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. The participants were 187 football players and data on the player's injuries were collected. A self-reported questionnaire collected number, type, and severity of injuries sustained during the previous sports season (twelve months), and also the player's current situation, being injured or not injured. To evaluate the psychological variables, the DASS-21 questionnaire was used. Results indicated that the male injured players presented anxiety levels higher than those who were non-injured. When we observe the female players' data, the stress levels of the non-injured ones are higher than those of the injured players. Regarding the non-injured athletes, results showed that the female non-injured players presented values in anxiety higher than those corresponding to the non-injured male players. Thus, sport injury affects mental health issues such as anxiety and stress, and in a different way regarding gender.

“…In soccer, groin injuries account for up to 19% of all injuries [30], while the estimated prevalence may be as high as 70% [26]. A recent systematic review, reported a high rate of hip and groin injuries in ice hockey and football code sports such as Australian football, Gaelic football, and rugby [17].…”

Independent sample t-test was performed to assess between-group differences. The paired t-test was used to analyze betweenlimb differences in unilateral performance tasks. ResultsThe patients had worse scores than the controls in all HAGOS-subscales (p ≤ 0.001), while no statistically significant differences were observed for any performance measure between groups or between symptomatic and non-symptomatic limbs. ConclusionsDespite significant self-reported functional limitations on the HAGOS, there were no significant differences between groups in performance-based strength or power measures. The results of this study highlight the need to identify performance-based measures, sensitive to functional deficiencies in patients with long-standing hip and groin pain in order to complement the clinical picture obtained by patient-reported outcomes such as the HAGOS.Case-control, Level of evidence III
