Abstract

The aim of the study: To describe the clinical and non-clinical characteristics of Gabon footballers in the Haut-Ogooue Polyclinic in Franceville, Gabon, during visits, to assess whether they are not contraceptive to sports.

Patients and methods: A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in the city of Franceville, Gabon, in May 2022. The first and second divisions of footballers were subjected to medical examinations to determine whether they had any contraindications for playing sports, including clinical examinations, rest electrocardiograms (ECG), rest cardiac ultrasounds, chest X-rays, Rick-Dickson and biological checks.

Results: The average age of 88 footballers (22-25 years) was 23 years. Blood pressure (BP) is abnormal in 19% of players, and alcohol and tobacco consumption is reported in 70% and 30%, respectively. Exercise adaptation was also closely associated with age (P = 0.00137724; P = 0.008974301), football position (P = 0.009957548; P = 0.006646182) and alcohol consumption (P = 0.000531971). Electrical and biological changes were 16% and 86.79%, respectively. Sinus bradycardia and first-degree atrioventricular block are the most common ECG abnormalities. Metabolic, inflammatory, infectious, electrolyte and anaemia syndromes were found in 22.64%, 24.53%, 19.81%, 7.55% and 12.26%, respectively. Midfielders and defenders have shown the greatest changes in biological parameters.

Conclusion: Medical checks are essential to determine if sports are contraindicated, as they can help identify physiological and pathological conditions and improve the monitoring of athletes.

加蓬弗朗斯维尔职业足球运动员体检。
研究目的描述加蓬足球运动员在加蓬弗朗斯维尔的上奥古埃综合医院就诊时的临床和非临床特征,以评估他们是否没有避孕运动。患者和方法:2022 年 5 月,在加蓬弗朗斯维尔市进行了一项描述性和分析性横断面研究:2022 年 5 月,在加蓬弗朗斯维尔市开展了一项描述性和分析性横断面研究。对足球甲级联赛和乙级联赛的球员进行了体检,以确定他们是否有运动禁忌症,包括临床检查、静息心电图(ECG)、静息心脏超声波检查、胸部 X 光检查、里克-迪克森检查和生物检查:88 名足球运动员(22-25 岁)的平均年龄为 23 岁。19%的球员血压(BP)异常,70%和 30%的球员饮酒和吸烟。运动适应性还与年龄(P = 0.00137724;P = 0.008974301)、足球位置(P = 0.009957548;P = 0.006646182)和饮酒量(P = 0.000531971)密切相关。电学和生物学变化分别为 16% 和 86.79%。窦性心动过缓和一级房室传导阻滞是最常见的心电图异常。代谢、炎症、感染、电解质和贫血综合征分别占 22.64%、24.53%、19.81%、7.55% 和 12.26%。中场球员和后卫的生物参数变化最大:结论:体检对于确定运动禁忌症至关重要,因为体检有助于识别生理和病理状况,改善对运动员的监测。
