چکیده:
Background. Sports injuries, in addition to the economic cost which they incur for football clubs, appear to be
linked to a worse collective performance during the season. Objectives. The aim of this study was to determine the
injury incidence in a professional football team during 4 consecutive seasons. Methods. A total of 109 football
players aged about 25 ± 4 years, having experience in sports from 18 ± 5 years, were analysed based on the injuries
which they suffered during the training sessions and competition. Based on the recommendations of the International
Federation of Football Associations (FIFA), the exact type, severity and duration of football injuries were reported.
Results. A total of 251 injuries (62.7 injuries/season and 2.3 injuries/player) were recorded. The incidence during the
competition (37.2 injuries/1000h) was higher than that obtained during the training sessions (3.95 injuries/1000h).
The injuries of a muscular type were the ones which showed the highest injury incidence (53% - 3.3 injuries/1000h),
where the posterior thigh (19.6%), the knee (18.3%) and the groin (17.4%) were the most frequently damaged zones.
It was found that 14.4% of the injuries were relapses of injuries suffered previously. Conclusion. The injury
incidence detected in Spanish players is within the normal range for professional football players. The highest
frequency injury types are muscular injury, closely followed by joint injury. The variables of injury risk were
undifferentiated by the level of competition, player´s age, position and time of occurrence (month).

A total of 109 football players aged about 25 ± 4 years, having experience in sports from 18 ± 5 years, were analysed b ased on the injuries which they suffered during the training sessions and competition.
The objective of this study was to conduct the descriptive analysis of the injuries suffered by a Spanish professional football team during four consecutive seasons.
During the time of the study, all the injuries due to the players' participation in the training sessions and competition were recorded.
The following variables were also analyzed: team level, type, location severity, production mechanism, player position, player laterality, production time, and recurrent injuries.
If we compare the obtained data based on the competitive level of the players, similar values were obtained for the total number of injuries suffered (125 injuries for the 2nd B Division League and 126 injuries for the 2nd Professional Football League (LFP)).
The risk of injury could not be differentiated based on the competitive level, age, player position and the moment of appearance (month).
