Abstract
BackgroundSoccer is a sports practice that begins at an early age and requires a great physical demand, especially of the lower limbs. ObjectiveTo determine the incidence of injuries, as well as their nature and relationship with the game position and category in a population of young male federated soccer players in their different non-senior categories during a sports season. Material and methodA retrospective observational study was carried out using self-filled questionnaires in 128 soccer players belonging to the base soccer teams of the Marbella soccer club. ResultsA total of 254 injuries were recorded. The juvenile category presents a higher incidence (P=.002). The most numerous injuries were ankle sprains and calf muscle injuries. ConclusionsThe incidence of injuries is directly related to the category, not being so with the playing position. Injury prevention programs must be adapted to the demands of each category in youth soccer.
