ABSTRACT
Introduction: Injuries are frequent and significant adverse events in the sporting life
of soccer players.
Objective: Determine the characteristics of the injuries resulting from the practice of
soccer players of a professional team during 1 year of competition in the Colombian
first division of professional soccer.
Method: We prospectively followed for 1 year, 24 players from the first category of a
Colombian soccer team. An initial assessment of players was performed including age,
weight, height and BMI. Daily, the format injury report for each player was filled in by
the physician, during training and competition, for consigning date of injury, injured
anatomic site, type of injury, initial diagnosis, definitive diagnosis, recurrent injury,
mechanism of injury, cause of injury, and disability days.
Results: The mean age was 26.5 ± 5 years. The BMI was 24.57 ± 1.06. 50% of
players were injured. 58.3% of injuries occurred during competition. No recurring
injuries occurred. The most affected anatomical site was the knee. Most of the injuries
were ligamentous and muscular. The most common diagnosis was sprained. Most of
the injuries were non-contact (66.66%). 33.33% of all injuries were overuse and
trauma 66.66%. 50% of the injuries were severe.
Conclusions: more injuries occurred during competition, half severe, mainly in the
lower limbs ligamentous sprains, non-contact, overuse and trauma.
