Evaluation of injuries in professional Turkish football players

Amaç: Dünyada en popüler olan futboldaki yaralanma miktarının azaltılması ve yaralanmaların önlenmesi için oyun pozisyonuna göre yaralanmaların anatomik lokalizasyonu ve yaralanma şekillerinin değerlendirilmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye Birinci ve İkinci Profesyonel Futbol Liglerine devam eden takımlarda oynayan futbolcularında yaralanmaların anatomik lokalizasyonu ve yaralanma şekillerinin değerlendirilmesiydi. Metod: Futbol yaralanmaları 510 futbolcunun katılımıyla ve anket yöntemiyle yapıldı. Bulgular: Farklı oyun pozisyonları için, yıpranmalar %64.5-85.4, kas zorlanmaları %52.-64.5, eklem burkulmaları %19.5-49.3 ve kırıklar %2.5-6.3 idi. Oyun pozisyonuna bakmaksızın alt eksremite yaralanmaları en genel yaralanmalar olarak saptandı (%60.5). Sonuç: Uygun ve yerinde alınan önlemlerle birlikte yaralanma riski ve miktarlarının azaltılması için bu bilgilerden yararlanılması önerilir
