📌 TL;DR: Estudio revela altas tasas de lesiones musculoesqueléticas en jugadores de futsal nacionales.
🔬 Puntos clave:
- Altas tasas de lesiones musculares/tendinas y ligamentos, especialmente en la rodilla, pubis y tobillo.
- Ankle es el área más afectada durante los partidos.
- Muscular/tendinosis son las causas principales de lesiones tanto en entrenamiento como en partido.
🎯 Aplicación clínica para LATAM:
En Panamá, este estudio puede guiar a médicos deportivos sobre estrategias preventivas específicas para reducir lesiones musculares y tendinosas, especialmente en áreas clave del cuerpo como el tobillo y la rodilla. También puede informar sobre el uso de terapias físicas y ejercicios preventivos.
⚠ Limitaciones:
El estudio se realizó con jugadores de futsal nacionales turcos, lo que limita su aplicabilidad directa a otros contextos deportivos locales.
Objective
To evaluate the incidence and patterns of injuries and illnesses among male national futsal players over a seven-year-period.
Design
Injuries and illnesses were documented in accordance with the 'Football-Specific Extension of the IOC Consensus Statement' by a sports medicine physician during training camps and tournaments of the Turkish national male futsal team from 2018 to 2025.
Results
Across 38 camps (355 d, 98 matches, 264 training sessions), 312 injuries (93 time-loss) and 60 illness (12 time-loss) were recorded among 95 players. Time-loss injury incidence rates were 79.5/1000 hours (h) in matches and 9.6/1000h in training. The ankle was the most frequently injured body area leading to time-loss during matches (18.4/1000h), while the thigh was most affected in training (3.8/1000h). Muscle/tendon injuries were the leading cause of time-loss in both matches and training (45.9 and 5.8 injuries/1000h, respectively) and also accounted for the highest injury burden (370.4 and 7.2 d-lost/1000h, respectively).
Conclusion
This study highlights the incidence rates and patterns of match and training injuries in male national futsal players, provides novel insights into illnesses, and emphasizes the clinical importance of muscle/tendon and ligament injuries, particularly in the thigh, groin and ankle, and show that tailored prevention strategies are needed.
