Background

A comprehensive examination of the sport-specific activities and circumstances being performed at the time of injury is important to hypothesise mechanisms, develop prevention strategies and inform future investigations. Results reported in the literature are inconsistent because inciting activities are reported using different classifications. Hence the aim was to develop a standardised system for the reporting of inciting circumstances.

Methods

The system was developed using a modified Nominal Group Technique. The initial panel included 12 sports practitioners and researchers from four continents with respectively ≥ 5 years of experience working in professional football and/or conducting injury research. The process consisted of six phases: idea generation, two surveys, one online meeting and two confirmations. For answers to the closed questions, consensus was deemed achieved if ≥ 70% of respondents agreed. Open-ended answers were qualitatively analysed and then introduced in subsequent phases.

Results

Ten panellists completed the study. The risk of attrition bias was low. The developed system includes a comprehensive range of inciting circumstances across five domains: contact type, ball situation, physical activity, session details, contextual information. The system also distinguishes between a core set (essential reporting) and an optional set. The panel deemed all the domains to be important and easy to use both in football and in research environments.

Conclusion

A system to classify inciting circumstances in football was developed. Given the extent of reporting inconsistency of inciting circumstances in the available literature, this can be used while further studies evaluate its reliability.

开发足球中伤害诱发情况分类的标准化系统：足球伤害诱发情况分类系统（FIICCS）

背景

对受伤时进行的特定运动活动和情况进行全面检查对于假设机制、制定预防策略和为未来的调查提供信息非常重要。文献中报告的结果不一致，因为煽动活动是使用不同的分类报告的。因此，目标是制定一个报告煽动情况的标准化系统。

方法

该系统是使用改进的标称群技术开发的。最初的小组包括来自四大洲的 12 名体育从业者和研究人员，他们分别在职业足球和/或进行伤病研究方面拥有 5 年以上的经验。该过程包括六个阶段：想法产生、两次调查、一次在线会议和两次确认。对于封闭式问题的答案，如果 ≥ 70% 的受访者同意，则视为达成共识。对开放式答案进行定性分析，然后在后续阶段引入。

结果

十名小组成员完成了这项研究。自然损耗偏差的风险很低。开发的系统包括跨五个领域的全面的煽动情况：接触类型、球情况、身体活动、比赛细节、上下文信息。该系统还区分核心集（基本报告）和可选集。该小组认为所有领域在足球和研究环境中都很重要且易于使用。

结论

开发了一种对足球中的煽动情况进行分类的系统。鉴于现有文献中报告的煽动情况的不一致程度，可以在进一步研究评估其可靠性时使用。
