Analysis of more than 20,000 injuries in European professional football by using a citizen science-based approach: An opportunity for epidemiological research?

Tim Hoenig et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether citizen science-based health data can be used for epidemiological research on injuries in professional football. The analysis of injury history data from ten seasons revealed significant differences in injury incidence and severity compared to other databases. Therefore, the use of citizen science-based data for epidemiological research is not recommended at present.

Epidemiology of Achilles Tendon Rupture in Italian First Division Football (Soccer) Players and Their Performance After Return to Play

Alberto Grassi et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the epidemiology and incidence of Achilles tendon ruptures (ATRs) in professional footballers. The study found an overall incidence rate of 0.007 and an incidence proportion of 0.17% for ATRs. All players were able to return to play, but 40% of them showed a decrease in performance level after the injury.

MECHANICAL AND STRAIN BEHAVIOUR OF HUMAN ACHILLES TENDON DURING IN VITRO TESTING TO FAILURE

C. Nagelli et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanical behavior of healthy human Achilles tendons during failure using digital image correlation. The results showed that the strength of the tendons was higher than previously reported, and the weakest part of the tendon showed high longitudinal strains just before rupture. These findings provide new insights into the mechanical behavior of tendons during stretching to failure.

Three Main Mechanisms Characterize Medial Collateral Ligament Injuries in Professional Male Soccer-Blow to the Knee, Contact to the Leg or Foot, and Sliding: Video Analysis of 37 Consecutive Injuries

Matthew Buckthorpe et al.

Summary: This study describes the mechanisms, situational patterns, and biomechanics of MCL injuries in professional male soccer players. Direct contact was the most common cause of MCL injuries, followed by indirect contact and noncontact injuries. Three main sprain mechanisms were identified: blow to the knee, contact to the leg or foot (lever like), and sliding.

Systematic Video Analysis of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Professional Female Soccer Players

Simona Lucarno et al.

Summary: Female soccer players are at high risk for ACL injuries, mostly occurring in situations like pressing and tackling, regaining balance after kicking, and being tackled. Biomechanical analysis revealed multiplanar mechanisms with frequent knee valgus loading. The majority of injuries happened in the first half of matches, specifically within the first 30 minutes.

Systematic Video Analysis of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Professional Male Rugby Players: Pattern, Injury Mechanism, and Biomechanics in 57 Consecutive Cases

Francesco Della Villa et al.

Summary: Most ACL injuries in professional male rugby players occur through a noncontact or indirect contact mechanism (68%). Three situational patterns were described, including offensive change of direction, being tackled, and pressing/tackling. Biomechanical analysis confirmed a multiplanar mechanism, with a knee-loading pattern in the sagittal plane accompanied by dynamic valgus. As most injuries occurred in the first 40 minutes, accumulated fatigue appears not to be a major risk factor for ACL injury.

How muscles maximize performance in accelerated sprinting

Marcus G. Pandy et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore how individual leg muscles work together during accelerated sprinting to generate ground force impulse and maximize forward momentum. Combining musculoskeletal modeling with gait data, the study found that different muscles contribute in various ways to the ground force impulse, with the ankle plantarflexors playing a major role in achieving maximal-effort accelerated sprinting.

The dominant leg is more likely to get injured in soccer players: systematic review and meta-analysis

Matthew D. DeLang et al.

Summary: In soccer, dominant limb kicking results in higher ball velocity and frequency, with a higher risk of injury to the dominant limb, particularly in hamstring and hip/groin areas. This increased risk is consistent across playing levels, genders, and age groups, highlighting the importance of considering limb dominance in soccer injury studies.
