A prospective investigation to evaluate risk factors for lower extremity injury risk in male youth soccer players

There is an inherent risk of injury in male youth football; however, pertinent risk factors for injury have yet to be examined. This study used a prospective cohort design with 357 elite male youth football players (aged 10‐18 years) assessed during the preseason period and then monitored during the...

description There is an inherent risk of injury in male youth football; however, pertinent risk factors for injury have yet to be examined. This study used a prospective cohort design with 357 elite male youth football players (aged 10‐18 years) assessed during the preseason period and then monitored during the season recording all non‐contact lower extremity injuries. Screening tests included single leg hop for distance (SLHD); 75% of maximum hop and stick (75%Hop); single leg countermovement jump (SLCMJ); and the tuck jump assessment (TJ). Players were divided into subgroups based on chronological age. SLCMJ peak landing vertical ground reaction force (pVGRF) asymmetry was the most prominent risk factor (U11‐U12s, OR 0.90, P = .04; and U15‐U16s, OR 0.91, P
