Abstract

This study attempted to determine the frequency of apparent injury incidents in women's international football and estimate what proportion was authentic. Broadcast recordings of 47 games from 2 tournaments were reviewed to identify incidents in which a player behaved as if injured. Apparent injuries were considered definite if a player withdrew from participation within 5 minutes or if bleeding was visible. Remaining incidents were considered questionable. A total of 270 apparent injuries were observed at a rate of 5.74/game compared with 11.26/game previously reported in men's football. The definite injury rate was only 0.78/game vs. 4.96/game for questionable injuries. Definite injuries were associated with on-field treatment (P<0.010), stretcher (P<0.010), and second half (P=0.022), while questionable injuries were associated with fouls (P=0.036), contact (P<0.010), and being tackled (P=0.025). Questionable injuries were not associated with the final third of a half or with team success. Verf.-Referat
