摘要：Traumas occur frequently in the competitive sportsman’s life.The causes and the mechanisms of musculo-skeletal traumas vary with every sport.The aim of this study is to compare the frequency and location of musculo-skeletal traumas in competitive athletes and football players between period I August 2006 -July 2008 and period II August 2008- July 2009 within the same sport branch and between branches;The comparison was based the track and field event and the player’s position on the football ground.Material and method The study was performed on 27 football players from League A1 and A2 and 12 athletes (sprint and hurdles) aged between 13 and 26 and with 4-17 years time spent in training.The sportsmen were monitored both while training and during competitions through video recordings,questionnaires,observation and conversation conducted by coaches,medical sportsmen and kinetic therapy experts.The injured sportsmen were examined clinically and imagistically (radiology,ultrasound scan and in severe traumas also MRI).Results Two batches were studied: batch one consisted of 12 male athletes and batch two consisted of 27 male football players.The musculo-skeletal traumas occurred in 11 body segments: forearm,thigh,elbow,spine,face,calf,knee,ankle,hand (palm,fist),foot and shoulder.The comparison of the trauma percentages in the two batches was based on the affected body segment,the player’s position on the ground and the track and field event.The results of the comparison between the injuries occurring in each body segment separately in the two periods are significant (the Z-test was used and the significance threshold was α = 0.05).The comparison between trauma percentages in athletes and football players had the following significant results: elbow (p = 0.016;α = 0.05) spine (p = 0.032;α = 0.05) calf (p= 0,011 s;α = 0.05) knee (p < 0.001;α = 0.001) foot (p = 0.027;α=0.05) shoulder (p = 0.002;α = 0.01) Trauma incidence was considerably reduced in football players than in athletes.Conclusions The results of our study,validated in sports-related literature,indicate that trauma incidence is higher in athletes,especially those participating in more events such as hurdling.
