■较早的声明表明2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)感染对运动表现和伤害风险的负面影响。随着COVID-19大流行得到控制,一种不太严重的病毒株占主导地位,有必要确认这些不利影响是否仍然适用于当前情况。
■与未感染的运动员相比,受感染的运动员的非接触肌肉损伤发生率更高。
■队列观察性研究。
■3级。
■在2021-2022赛季期间,对参加西班牙职业女子足球联赛(LigaF)的七支球队(n=147名球员)进行了前瞻性监测。根据国际奥委会的最新共识声明,记录并分类了非接触伤害的数据。COVID-19由医务人员通过常规聚合酶链反应分析进行认证。
■在赛季中,92名球员至少遭受了1次非接触性肌肉损伤。在赛季中,COVID-19的球员(n=83)和没有感染的球员的受伤发生率相似(5.1±6.7和4.9±10.0受伤/1000小时的比赛,分别为;P=0.90)。与没有感染的球员相比,患有COVID-19的球员遭受非接触伤害的可能性并不大(R2=0.02;比值比[OR]95%置信区间[95%CI]=0.36-1.38;P=0.31)。COVID-19对损伤缺失天数(R2=0.01;OR95%CI=1.00-1.01;P=0.44)或损伤严重程度分类没有影响(P=0.79)。
■COVID-19对职业女子足球运动员的非接触伤害发生率和严重程度没有显着影响。
■目前,COVID-19感染不会改变职业足球非接触肌肉损伤的风险,在损伤管理方面不需要进一步关注。考虑到每个球员的特殊性,通常的重返比赛协议适用于COVID-19,因为感染的严重程度,不活动的时期,以及对玩家的健康和表现的影响。
UNASSIGNED: Earlier statements suggested a negative impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection on sports performance and injury risk. With the COVID-19 pandemic under control and the dominance of a less-severe strain of the virus, there is a need to confirm whether these adverse effects still apply to the current situation.
UNASSIGNED: Infected players would have a higher noncontact muscle injury incidence compared with noninfected counterparts.
UNASSIGNED: Cohort observational study.
UNASSIGNED: Level 3.
UNASSIGNED: Seven teams (n = 147 players) competing in the Spanish professional women\'s football league (Liga F) were prospectively monitored during the 2021-2022 season. Data from noncontact injuries were recorded and classified following the latest consensus statement from the International Olympic Committee. COVID-19 was certified by the medical staff by regular polymerase chain reaction analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Ninety-two players suffered at least 1 noncontact muscle injury during the season. Injury incidence during the season was similar in players with COVID-19 (n = 83) and players without infection (5.1 ± 6.7 versus 4.9 ± 10.0 injuries/1000 h of play, respectively; P = 0.90). Players with COVID-19 were not more likely to suffer noncontact injuries compared with those players without infection (R2 = 0.02; odds ratio [OR] 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 0.36-1.38; P = 0.31). There was no effect of COVID-19 on the days of absence due to injury (R2 = 0.01; OR 95% CI = 1.00-1.01; P = 0.44) or in the classification of the severity of the injury (P = 0.79).
UNASSIGNED: COVID-19 has no significant effect on noncontact injury incidence and severity in professional female football players.
UNASSIGNED: Currently, COVID-19 infection does not alter noncontact muscle injury risk in professional football and requires no further attention in terms of injury management. Usual return-to-play protocols apply to COVID-19 considering the particularities of each player since the severity of infection, period of inactivity, and effects on the player\'s health and performance.
