Abstract
We registered all new injuries among 496 male youth soccer players, aged 12 to 18 years, during the course of one year. The incidence of injury was 3.7 injuries per 1000 hours of soccer per player. The incidence increased with age, and at the higher ages within the youth players, approached the incidence rate of senior players (age >-18 years). Seventy percent of the injuries were located in the lower extremities, particularly the knee (26) and ankle (23). Back pain occurred in 14 of players. Fractures, which accounted for 4 of injuries, were most often in the upper extremities. We conclude that youth soccer is a relatively low-risk sport with an injury pattern that differs slightly from that of senior players. Verf.-Referat
