Summary

Elite futsal players most frequently sustain thigh muscle-tendon injuries, followed by knee and ankle ligament damage. Anterior cruciate ligament ruptures caused the most significant time loss, indicating a need for targeted prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Injury Epidemiology

Background:

  • Futsal is a high-intensity sport with a high risk of player injuries.
  • Existing research lacks a clear consensus on the most common injury patterns in futsal.
  • Understanding injury epidemiology is crucial for developing effective prevention and rehabilitation strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and quantify the types and frequencies of injuries in elite futsal players.
  • To analyze injury patterns across different competitive levels within a single club.
  • To provide data for targeted injury prevention and rehabilitation program development.

Main Methods:

  • Observational, retrospective analysis of injuries over nine consecutive seasons.
  • Data collected from 214 male athletes across six competitive categories (671 player-seasons).
  • Documentation of 1,043 injuries, categorizing by type, location, and time loss.

Main Results:

  • Muscle-tendon injuries of the thigh were the most prevalent, followed by knee and ankle ligament injuries.
  • The biceps femoris muscle was the most frequently injured.
  • Anterior cruciate ligament ruptures resulted in the highest time loss.

Conclusions:

  • Elite futsal players exhibit specific injury patterns, with thigh muscle-tendon and knee/ankle ligament injuries being most common.
  • Anterior cruciate ligament injuries represent a significant burden in terms of player availability.
  • Findings support the development of targeted injury prevention and rehabilitation programs for futsal.
