Abstract

The present investigation analyses all the acute soccer injuries recorded in Finland during one year (1980). The mean follow-up time was 18 months. The cal culated yearly injury incidence was 5.8. No significant difference in the injury incidences between the two sexes could be detected. A major part, 64 of the injuries were located in the lower extremities. Fractures and dislocations accounted for 11 of all injuries. One quarter of the injuries were classified as mild, causing a playing disability shorter than a week. Most injuries occurred through physical contact with another player. The calculated median time of absence from practice after injury was 4 weeks. Verf.-Referat
