The Lower Extremity Functional Test (LEFT) is a reliable and valid test for the measurement of athletic fitness, fatigue resistance, and speed performance. Contradictory results exist regarding the screening value of the LEFT in predicting lower limb injuries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the screening value of the LEFT in predicting lower limb injuries in professional male footballers. One hundred and twenty-one professional male football players participated in the study. LEFT was recorded pre-season and the lower-limb injuries were recorded during a 9-month season. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the accuracy of the prognosis of LEFT. A total of twenty-five lower limb injuries were recorded. The model explained 53% of the variance in lower limb injury, showing that predictions by LEFT score is reliable, and correctly predicted 89.3% of cases, which is a large improvement. ROC analysis showed significant accuracy of the LEFT score (AUC 0.908, 95% CI 1.126–1.336, p = 0.001, OR = 1.227) in discriminating between injured and uninjured players. The optimum cut-off level of the LEFT score was 90.21 s; Our findings showed that the LEFT score was able to predict lower limb injuries in professional male footballers. The slower an athlete’s LEFT scores, the more susceptible they are to future injury risk. Sports medicine specialists, football coaches and managers are suggested to use LEFT as a pre-season screening test to identify and prevent the weakness and functional imbalance of the athletes before the injury occurs by conducting this test.

评估下肢功能测试预测职业男子足球运动员的下肢损伤



下肢功能测试 (LEFT) 是一种可靠且有效的测试,用于测量运动健康、抗疲劳性和速度表现。关于 LEFT 预测下肢损伤的筛查价值,存在相互矛盾的结果。本研究的目的是探讨 LEFT 在预测职业男子足球运动员下肢损伤中的筛查价值。121 名职业男子足球运动员参与了这项研究。LEFT 是在季前赛中记录的,下肢受伤是在 9 个月的赛季中记录的。采用 Logistic 回归分析确定 LEFT 预后的准确性。共记录了 25 例下肢损伤。该模型解释了下肢损伤 53% 的方差,表明 LEFT 评分的预测是可靠的,并且正确预测了 89.3% 的病例,这是一个很大的进步。ROC 分析显示,LEFT 评分 (AUC 0.908,95% CI 1.126–1.336,p = 0.001,OR = 1.227) 在区分受伤和未受伤球员方面具有显着的准确性。LEFT 评分的最佳截断水平为 90.21 s;我们的研究结果表明,LEFT 评分能够预测职业男子足球运动员的下肢损伤。运动员的 LEFT 分数越慢,他们就越容易受到未来受伤风险的影响。建议运动医学专家、足球教练和经理使用 LEFT 作为季前筛查测试,通过进行此测试,在受伤发生之前识别和预防运动员的虚弱和功能失衡。
