Abstract

Objectives

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a systems-based secondary injury prevention intervention aimed at early detection and management of hamstring strain injury (HSI) and time-loss groin injury in an Australian male professional football club.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

Australian male professional football club.

Participants

Data were collected from male professional football players (n = 73) from a single football club.

Main outcome measures

Unilateral knee flexion and side-lying hip adduction maximum voluntary isometric contractions were monitored routinely in-season, two days post-match (≥40 h [h]) during a three-season intervention period. Strength reductions greater than the tests’ minimal detectable change percentage prompted intervention. HSI and time-loss groin injury burdens were calculated per 1000 player hours and compared with those from an immediately preceding two-season control period, to assess the effectiveness of the intervention.

Results

Across the intervention period, there was a decrease in HSI (4.98 days absence/1000 h (19.8%) decrease) and time-loss groin injury burdens (0.57 days absence/1000 h (49.1%) decrease) when compared with the control period.

Conclusions

A systems-based secondary injury prevention intervention shows preliminary positive findings in reducing HSI and time-loss groin injury burdens within a male professional football club, compared with usual care only.

二次伤害预防可降低男子职业足球运动员腿筋拉伤和腹股沟受伤的时间损失负担

本研究旨在评估一项基于系统的二级损伤预防干预措施的有效性，该措施旨在早期发现和管理澳大利亚一家男子职业足球俱乐部的腿筋拉伤（HSI）和腹股沟损伤时间损失。主要结果测量在三个赛季的干预期间，对单侧膝关节屈曲和侧卧位髋关节内收最大自主等长收缩进行常规监测，并在赛后两天（≥40 h [h]）进行监测。如果力量下降幅度大于测试的最小可检测变化百分比，则需要进行干预。结果在整个干预期间，HSI（每 1000 小时缺勤 4.98 天，减少 19.8%）和腹股沟损伤时间损失（每 1000 小时缺勤 0.57 天，减少 49.8%）均有所减少。结论与常规护理相比，以系统为基础的二次伤害预防干预措施在减少男子职业足球俱乐部的人伤指数和腹股沟损伤时间损失方面取得了初步的积极成果。

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.
