Abstract
Objective:
To investigate the incidence of acute injuries and
soccer-related chronic pain from long-term training and during matches in
adolescent players using natural grass turfs (NT) and artificial turfs
(AT).
Design:
Case-controlled prospective study.
Setting:
Institutional-level Fation Internationale de Football Association
Medical Centre of Excellence.
Participants:
Youth soccer players (12-17 years of age) from 6 teams, with
a predominant tendency to train on either NT or AT, were included. Of 332
players enrolled in this study, 301 remained to completion.
Interventions:
Medically diagnosed acute injuries and chronic pain were
recorded daily by team health care staff throughout 2005, and reports were
provided monthly to the authors.
Assessment of Risk Factors:
Noninvasive prospective study.
Independent Variables:
Age and turf type.
Main Outcome Measures:
Acute injuries per 1000 player hours on each
surface and chronic complaints per 1000 player hours were evaluated
according to frequency of surface used =80% of the time. Incidence rate
ratio (IRR) of acute injuries and chronic complaints during play on NT and
AT was calculated.
Results:
There was no significant difference in the incidence of acute
injuries between the 2 surfaces during training and competition. However,
the AT group showed a significantly higher incidence of low back pain
during training (IRR, 1.62; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-2.48). Early
adolescence and prolonged training hours were factors associated with an
increased incidence of chronic pain in the AT group.
Conclusion:
Adolescent players routinely training on AT for prolonged
periods should be carefully monitored, even on AT conforming to new
standards.
