The aim was to compare the epidemiology of injuries between elite male and female football players from same club. Injuries individual exposure time in a team team, both playing Spanish first division, were prospectively recorded by club's medical staff for five seasons (2010-2015) following FIFA consensus statement. Total, training, match hours per player-season 20% higher men compared women (P<.01). injury incidence 30%-40% (P≤.04) mainly due 4.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.30-10.08)...
The aim was to investigate the association of injuries with male football player continuity, progression and chances reaching First team in an elite academy.Injuries exposure time were prospectively recorded, following FIFA guidelines, over 6 seasons (2011-2017) Under (U)12, U14, U16, U19, 2nd/3rd players from same professional club.U19 progressing next level had a lower injury burden higher match availability compared that did not progress. Injury U12 U14. All teams than 84% suffer anterior...
Injuries have a negative impact on the development of football players. Maturation is potential risk factor for injuries but available data this topic provide limited evidence due to methodological shortcomings. The aim study was describe injury burden male academy players according growth curve-derived maturity status and timing. Injury were collected from 2000 2020. Longitudinal height records 110 individual fitted with Super-Imposition by Translation Rotation model estimate age at peak...
The effect of birthplace (the place where a player is born and grows up) one the key variables associated with soccer development achievement. However, recent studies have questioned influence contextual on selection promotion processes related to birthplace. main purposes this study were: (1) establish whether there difference between sporting growth according stages entry into academy, (2) evaluate geographical development, (3) assess chances making professional team debut. Applied...

The SNP, previous injury, age, level play, position, anthropometric data 129 (413 observations) was discovery...
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the concordance of predicted maturity status classifications (pre-, circa- or post-peak height velocity) relative to observed age at PHV in youth soccer players. Methods Longitudinal records for 124 male players were extracted from academy spanning 2000-2022 seasons. Age each player was estimated with Super-Imposition by Translation and Rotation (SITAR) model. Players classified as pre-, post-PHV using both ±1 year ± 0.5 criteria define circa-PHV interval....
Purpose: The aim of the study was to ascertain influence relative age on entry a professional soccer club and long-term career attainment.Methods: We analysed birth dates (divided into four quarters, BQ) attainment 1071 players who entered their in under 12 (U12), U14, U16, U19, Reserves First Team groups.Results: There an overrepresentation born BQ1 all groups except from Team. Forty (4.7%) became professional, 18 9 BQ4. More BQ4 had U12 U14 compared rest quarters. odds for player become...
Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) have been proposed as important mediators of the exchange between lactate (La-) producer and La- recipient (consumer) cells. Previous studies suggested that MCT1 A1470T genotype could be related to different physical performance phenotypes. This study followed guidelines for Strengthening Reporting Genetic Association Studies (STREGA) aimed evaluate distribution polymorphism rs1049434 in endurance-trained athletes compared untrained population. Moreover,...
To investigate if maturity status was associated with injury risk in male academy soccer players.Prospective cohort surveillance study.Professional academies.501 players (aged 9-23 years) from eight academies England, Spain, Uruguay and Brazil.Players were grouped by offset as pre-peak height velocity (PHV), circa-PHV, post-PHV or adult. Injury prevalence proportion (IPP) days missed recorded for one season per player, training/match exposure a sub-sample (n = 166).IPP all injuries combined...
Maturation progresses at different times and rates between individuals. Thus, differences in maturity status exist among players the same chronological age-based category, especially U14 players. The purpose of this prospective study was to describe injury burden according relative skeletal elite academy football From 2011 2020, injuries individual exposure (training match) were prospectively recorded 183 male Skeletal age (SA) assessed using Tanner-Whitehouse 2 method. Relative [SA minus...

It is currently unknown if injury risk associated with genetic variation in academy soccer players (ASP). We investigated whether nine candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms were (individually and combination) ASP at different stages of maturation. Saliva samples one season's records collected from 402 Caucasian male England, Spain, Uruguay, Brazil, whose maturity status was defined as pre- or post-peak height velocity (PHV). Pre-PHV COL5A1 rs12722 CC homozygotes had relatively higher...
This study aimed to explore the interaction between growth rate on specific injury incidence and burden pre-, circa- post-peak height velocity (PHV) periods. Injury stature data collected during 2000-2020 seasons in an elite football academy were retrospectively analysed. Only players with measurements from childhood until attainment of adult included (N = 84). Growth smoothed using a cubic spline calculate daily height. was categorised into three groups: fast (> 7.2 cm/year), moderate...
An optimal and correctly balanced metabolic status is essential to improve sports performance in athletes. Recent advances omic tools, such as the lipid profile of mature erythrocyte membranes (LPMEM), allow have a comprehensive vision nutritional these individuals provide personalized recommendations for nutrients, specifically, omega-3 omega-6 fatty acids, individuating deficiencies/unbalances that can arise from both habitual diet sportive activity. This work aimed study LPMEM...
The relative age effect (RAE) has primarily been investigated in male athletes involved popular sports and high-level competitions. However, occurrence of RAE other types at the grassroots level, particularly female athletes, is less well-studied. Thus, we examined a large cohort young who participated all competitive Bizkaia, Spain, according to gender specificity sport. birth dates 38,381 participants (65.1% males 34.9% females) aged 9-14 years old 37 were analyzed. Birth divided into four...
Growth and maturation are potential risk factors for soccer injuries. This research sought to describe how peak height velocity (PHV) affects overall specific injury burden in circa- post-PHV elite academy players. Injuries growth data collected from 2000 2020 were studied retrospectively. Longitudinal records 124 players fitted with the Super-Imposition by Translation Rotation model calculate PHV (cm/year) age at PHV. Players classified according percentile (fast:≥75th; average: 25-75th;...
