Abstract

Objectives

To compile a battery of test including various aspects of physical fitness that could be used on the field and to assess whether any of these tests are associated with future traumatic knee injuries in youth female team sports athletes.

Design

Prospective cohort.

Setting

Sport setting.

Participants

Female athletes (n = 117, age 15–19 years), from Swedish sport high schools, active in soccer, handball, or floorball.

Main outcome measures

Differences in pre-injury tests values of 11 physical fitness tests in injured versus non-injured athletes, assessed as number of traumatic knee injuries over one season.

Results

28 athletes sustained 34 traumatic knee injuries. Athletes who sustained an injury had a shorter distance on the Yo-Yo IR1 test at baseline than those without an injury (mean difference −193 m, CI -293− −65 m). None of the other tests, assessed for muscular strength, endurance, power, flexibility and dynamic knee valgus, differed between injured and non-injured athletes.

Conclusions

Youth female athletes with lower intermittent endurance capacity, assessed with the Yo-Yo IR1, seemed to be at greater risk of traumatic knee injury. Neither hop performance, flexibility, dynamic knee valgus nor isolated strength tests at baseline could distinguish between injured and non-injured youth female athletes at follow-up.

体能测试能否预测青少年女运动员的膝关节外伤？一项前瞻性队列研究。

目标：编制一套测试，包括可用于赛场的各方面体能测试，并评估这些测试是否与青少年女子团体运动运动员未来的膝关节创伤有关：编制一套可在赛场上使用的测试，包括体能的各个方面，并评估这些测试是否与青少年女子团体运动运动员未来的膝关节外伤有关：设计：前瞻性队列：参与者主要结果测量：受伤运动员与未受伤运动员在 11 项体能测试中受伤前测试值的差异，以一个赛季中膝关节外伤的次数进行评估。与未受伤的运动员相比，受过伤的运动员在 "悠悠IR1 "测试中的基线距离较短（平均差异为-193米，CI值为-293--65米）。在其他测试中，受伤运动员和未受伤运动员在肌肉力量、耐力、力量、柔韧性和动态膝外翻方面均无差异：结论：使用悠悠IR1进行评估的间歇耐力较低的青少年女运动员似乎更容易受到膝关节外伤。基线时的跳跃表现、柔韧性、膝关节动态外翻和孤立力量测试都不能区分受伤和未受伤的青少年女运动员。

期刊介绍： Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science. The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
