Objective To describe and categorise the injury-inciting circumstances of sudden-onset hamstring match injuries in professional football players using systematic video analysis. Methods Using a prospective injury surveillance database, all sudden-onset hamstring match injuries in male football players (18 years and older) from the Qatar Stars League between September 2013 and August 2020 were reviewed and cross-referenced with broadcasted match footage. Videos with a clear observable painful event (ie, a player grabbing their posterior thigh) were included. Nine investigators independently analysed all videos to describe and categorise injury-inciting circumstances. We used three main categories: playing situation (eg, time of injury), player action(s) (eg, running) and other considerations (eg, contact). Player action(s) and other considerations were not mutually exclusive. Results We included 63 sudden-onset hamstring match injuries out of 295 registered injuries between 2013 and 2020. Running was involved in 86% of injuries. Hamstring injuries occurred primarily during acceleration of 0–10 m (24% of all injuries) and in general at different running distances (0–50 m) and speeds (slow to fast). At 0–10 m distance, indirect player-to-player contact and inadequate balance were involved in 53% and 67% of the cases, respectively. Pressing occurred in 46% of all injuries (injured player pressing opponent: 25%; being pressed by opponent: 21%) and frequently involved player-to-player contact (69% of the cases when the injured player was pressing vs 15% of the cases when the opponent was pressing) and inadequate balance (82% vs 50%, respectively). Other player actions that did not involve running (n=9, 14% of all injuries) were kicking (n=6) and jumping (n=3). Conclusion The injury-inciting circumstances of sudden-onset hamstring match injuries in football varied. The most common single-player action (24%) was acceleration over a distance of <10 m. Pressing, inadequate balance and indirect contact were frequently seen player actions. Injury prevention research in football should look beyond high-speed running as the leading risk factor for sudden-onset hamstring injuries. Data are available upon reasonable request.

突发性腿筋损伤的损伤诱发情况：卡塔尔明星联赛 （2013-2020） 中 63 名男子职业足球运动员比赛受伤的视频分析


目的 使用系统视频分析描述和分类职业足球运动员突发性腘绳肌比赛损伤的损伤诱发情况。方法 使用前瞻性伤害监测数据库，回顾了 2013 年 9 月至 2020 年 8 月期间卡塔尔明星联赛男性足球运动员 （18 岁及以上） 的所有突发腿筋比赛损伤，并与广播的比赛录像进行交叉引用。包括具有明显可观察到的痛苦事件（即球员抓住大腿后部）的视频。9 名研究人员独立分析了所有视频，以描述和分类刺激伤害的情况。我们使用了三个主要类别：比赛情况（例如，受伤时间）、球员动作（例如，跑步）和其他考虑因素（例如，接触）。玩家操作和其他考虑因素并不相互排斥。结果：在 2013 年至 2020 年期间登记的 295 例损伤中，我们纳入了 63 例突发性腘绳肌比赛损伤。跑步涉及 86% 的伤害。腘绳肌损伤主要发生在 0-10 m 加速期间（占所有损伤的 24%），并且通常在不同的跑步距离 （0-50 m） 和速度（从慢到快）时发生。在 0-10 m 距离处，分别有 53% 和 67% 的病例涉及玩家与玩家的间接接触和平衡不足。46% 的受伤发生在受伤的球员压迫对手中（25%;被对手压迫：21%），并且经常涉及球员与球员之间的接触（69% 的受伤球员施压，而 15% 的球员施压）和平衡不足（分别为 82% 和 50%）。其他不涉及奔跑的球员动作（n=9，占所有受伤的 14%）是踢 （n=6） 和跳跃 （n=3）。 结论足球中突发性腘绳肌比赛损伤的伤害诱发情况各不相同。最常见的单人操作 （24%） 是在 <10 m 的距离内加速。施压、平衡不足和间接接触是球员的常见动作。足球损伤预防研究不应将高速奔跑作为突发性腘绳肌损伤的主要危险因素。数据可根据合理要求提供。数据可能从第三方获得，并且不会公开。不適用。
