ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT López-Segovia, M, Vivo Fernández, I, Herrero Carrasco, R, and Pareja Blanco, F. Preseason injury characteristics in Spanish professional futsal players the National Futsal League (LFNS) project. J Strength Cond Res 36(1) 232-237, 2022-This study aimed to examine the incidence of injuries and their characteristics among professional Spanish futsal players during the preseason period and to compare injury-related variables in the context of both competition and training. Eleven futsal teams belonging to the First and Second Spanish Division and 161 players participated in the study. Characteristics of injuries, including type, location, cause and time of injury, injury recurrence, and duration of absence, were recorded. A total of 62 injuries were reported; injury rates of 9.9 (95% confidence interval [CI] 7.0-12.5) injuries/1,000 training hours and 61.1 (95% CI 25.7-96.5) injuries/1,000 match hours were collected. These data indicate a mean of 5.64 ± 2.66 injuries per team during the preseason period. Of these injuries, 92.1% involved the lower limbs. When data from training and competition were analyzed together, the highest incidence of injuries affected the ankle (21%), followed by the hip/groin and knee (19.4% each). The most common type of injury was muscle rupture/tear/strain (29.0%). During training, the highest percentage of injuries were located in the knee (23.9%), followed by the ankle and hip/groin (21.7% in each case), while during matches, the thigh (35.7%) followed by the ankle (21.4%) was the regions most affected. A significant relationship (p = 0.008) was observed between injury cause (without contact, with other player, with the ball, and others) and injury context (training, match). To conclude, the results of this study suggest the need for injury prevention protocols focuses on the ankle and the knee joints and muscle strain prevention.
