Abstract

Introduction

The purpose of this study was to investigate lower limb tendinopathy incidence over 3 seasons in Brazilian youth elite athletes.

Design

Prospective epidemiological study.

Methods

A prospective study was performed during 2015, 2016 and 2017 seasons, with a total of 1553 Brazilian youth athletes (1.195 male and 358 female) out of 6 sports (volleyball, basketball, judo, gymnastics, tennis and futsal). The mean age was 14.1 (11.2; 17.0) years, mean height was 1.75 (1.55; 1.95) meters and mean body mass was 59.4 (42.0; 76.4) kilograms. The diagnosis of lower limb tendinopathy (LLT) was made by an experienced sports physician based on a detailed history and clinical exam. The incidence of LLT was determined by number of injuries/total exposure hours x 1000.

Results

In total, 100 LLT were recorded during the 3 seasons. The most frequent type of LLT was patellar (79%), adductor (12%) and Achilles (9%). The frequency of patellar tendinopathy was higher in male's volleyball, basketball and female volleyball (41%, 25%, 13%, respectively) and the frequency of Achilles tendinopathy was higher in basketball and female volleyball (33%,22%). The LLT incidence was 2.5/1000h in 2015, 4.2/1000h in 2016 and 2.1/1000h in 2017.

Conclusion

Lower limb tendinopathies are relatively common in youth elite athletes. In 3-season, the most frequent type was patellar tendinopathy. A higher LLT incidence was observed in male volleyball athletes when compared to female volleyball athletes. Basketball athletes presented a higher frequency of patellar, adductor and Achilles tendinopathies in 3-seasons when compared to other sports.

下肢肌腱病的发病率：对巴西一家体育俱乐部的青少年精英运动员进行的为期 3 年的前瞻性研究

导言：本研究旨在调查巴西青少年精英运动员在3个赛季中的下肢肌腱病发病率。方法在2015、2016和2017赛季期间进行了一项前瞻性研究，共有1553名巴西青少年运动员（男性1 195人，女性358人）参加了6个项目（排球、篮球、柔道、体操、网球和五人制足球）。平均年龄为 14.1（11.2；17.0）岁，平均身高为 1.75（1.55；1.95）米，平均体重为 59.4（42.0；76.4）公斤。下肢肌腱病（LLT）的诊断由经验丰富的运动医师根据详细的病史和临床检查做出。下肢腱鞘炎的发病率按受伤次数/总接触时间 x 1000 计算。最常见的长约肌腱损伤类型是髌骨肌腱损伤（79%）、内收肌腱损伤（12%）和跟腱损伤（9%）。髌骨肌腱病在男排、篮球和女排中的发病率较高（分别为 41%、25% 和 13%），跟腱病在篮球和女排中的发病率较高（33% 和 22%）。2015年LLT发病率为2.5/1000h，2016年为4.2/1000h，2017年为2.1/1000h.结论下肢肌腱病在青少年精英运动员中较为常见。在 3 个赛季中，最常见的类型是髌骨肌腱病。与女排运动员相比，男排运动员的下肢腱鞘炎发病率更高。与其他运动项目相比，篮球运动员在三个赛季中出现髌骨、内收肌和跟腱病变的频率更高。
