| Abstract/Contents: | "Background: Artificial turf is becoming increasingly popular, although the risk of injury on newer generations of turf is unknown. Aim: To investigate the risk of injury on artificial turf compared with natural grass among young female football players. Study design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: 2020 players from 109 teams (mean (SD) 15.4 (0.8) years) participated in the study during the 2005 football season. Time-loss injuries and exposure data on different types of turf were recorded over an eight-month period. Results: 421 (21%) players sustained 526 injuries, leading to an injury incidence of 3.7/1000 playing hours (95% CI 3.4 to 4.0). The incidence of acute injuries on artificial turf and grass did not differ significantly with respect to match injuries (rate ratio (RR) 1.0, 95% CI 0.8 to 1.3; p=0.72) or training injuries (RR 1.0, 95% CI 0.6 to 1.5, p=0.93). In matches, the incidence of serious injuries was significantly higher on artificial turf (RR 2.0, 95% CI 1.3 to 3.2; p=0.03). Ankle sprain was the most common type of injury (34% of all acute injuries), and there was a trend towards more ankle sprains on artificial turf than on grass (RR 1.5, 95% CI 1.0 to 2.2; p=0.06). Conclusion: In the present study among young female football players, the overall risk of acute injuries was similar between artificial turf and natural grass." |
