| dc.description.abstract | This review provides an overview of the literature pertaining to female soccer injuries from
2007-2016. The dissemination of female soccer injury surveillances in Africa, America and
Europe has been described in regards to their most prevalent anatomical site and injury type.
Both intrinsic (quadriceps angle, body mass index (BMI), overuse injuries) and extrinsic risk
factors (tackles by oppo
nents, poor landing) associated with soccer injuries were examined.
Large BMI and overuse injuries showed significan
t positive correlations with the incidence of
soccer injuries. However, the mechanism of these risk factors’ contribution to injuries has not
been established. The controversy regarding the
association of deviant quadriceps angles and
knee injuries has been described. Player pos
ition also plays a role as could be seen with
midfielders that sustain the most
injuries due to their high w
ork rate. Future direction into
specific areas of research has been identified
to increase the body of evidence concerning the
type and mechanism of female soccer injuries | |
