u-리그 참가 대학 축구선수들의 운동상해 요인과 유형 및 치료에 관한 연구

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This study aims to examine the factors and types of sports injuries frequently occurring in college football players and grasp emergency measures and treatment to help the improvement of player's performance and coaches' coaching. For this, a questionnaire survey was conducted with college football players of 9 teams in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do participating in the 2012 U-League. Based on the results, the most frequent cause of injury was practice games to prepare a match, followed by tackles occurring in attack and defense situations. Most injuries were caused by the lack of warm-up and excessive movements. Injury frequency was high in a muscular ache, a fracture, a sprain, a contusion, and an abrasion. The muscular ache and fracture were caused by fights during attack and defense. Since football players often did practice games in the artificial turf, the friction between artificial turf and them contributed to high frequency of abrasion. The relapse after injury was mostly caused by a return to training. Therefore coaches should encourage injured players to have steady treatment and return to training after complete recovery. When players join exercise after making the best condition through thorough warm-up, cool-down, and stretching, their injuries can be reduced. Moreover a reduction in injuries will greatly contribute to the improvement of team performance.
