Description
Summary:Objective: To analyze the incidence of injuries in a mexican professional women’s soccer team throughout a season. Material and Methods: A longitudinal, prospective, observational and descriptive study was carried out in a first division soccer team, of the female category in Mexico (Querétaro FC) during the 2018-2019 season, with the purpose of characterizing sports injuries in the players. The following magnitudes were considered: age, sex, weight, height, playing position, number of injuries, injured anatomical region, type of injury and its severity. Incidences and prevalences were investigated. Results: A total of 30 players were part of the present study. During the year of follow-up, a total of 33 injuries were registered, 76.66% of the players had some injury, the lower limbs being the most affected region, and within this, the knee (24.2%). The most prevalent injury was muscle type (36.3%) and minor injuries (33.3%) were more frequent in terms of their severity. Conclusion: Women’s soccer is a sport with a high rate of injury incidence, highlighting muscle-type injuries and mainly affecting the lower limbs. The results emphasize the importance of a more complete analysis of the patterns and types of injury to allow the creation of protocols and preventive and treatment strategies in order to reduce the incidence of injuries that will lead us to achieve a better performance of our athletes.
