Background While football injury and illness epidemiology surveillance at professional club level in Europe is available, epidemiological data from other continents are lacking. Purpose Investigating injury and illness epidemiology in professional Asian football. Study design Descriptive prospective study. Methods Professional teams from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) league were followed prospectively for three consecutive AFC seasons (2017 through 2019, 13 teams per season, 322 team months). Time-loss injuries and illnesses in addition to individual match and training exposure were recorded using standardised digital tools in accordance with international consensus procedures. Results In total, 232 665 hours of exposure (88.6% training and 11.4% matches) and 1159 injuries were recorded; 496 (42.8%) occurred during matches, 610 (52.6%) during training; 32 (2.8%) were reported as ‘not applicable’ and for 21 injuries (1.8%) information was missing. Injury incidence was significantly greater during match play (19.2±8.6 injuries per 1000 hours) than training (2.8±1.4, p<0.0001), resulting in a low overall incidence of 5.1±2.2. The injury burden for match injuries was greater than from training injuries (456±336 days per 1000 hours vs 54±34 days, p<0.0001). The two specific injuries causing the greatest burden were complete ACL ruptures (0.14 injuries (95% CI 0.9 to 0.19) and 29.8 days lost (29.1 to 30.5) per 1000 hours) and hamstring strains (0.86 injuries (0.74 to 0.99) and 17.5 days (17.0 to 18.1) lost per 1000 hours). Reinjuries constituted 9.9% of all injuries. Index injuries caused 22.6±40.8 days of absence compared with 25.1±39 for reinjuries (p=0.62). The 175 illnesses recorded resulted in 1.4±2.9 days of time loss per team per month. Conclusion Professional Asian football is characterised by an overall injury incidence similar to that reported from Europe, but with a high rate of ACL ruptures and hamstring injury, warranting further investigations. No data are available. Data are confidential and not available upon request.

亚洲职业足球的伤病流行病学：与欧洲相比，总体发病率和负担较低，但 ACL 和腿筋损伤负担较高

背景 虽然欧洲职业俱乐部级别的足球伤害和疾病流行病学监测是可用的，但缺乏来自其他大陆的流行病学数据。目的 调查职业亚洲足球的伤病流行病学。研究设计 描述性前瞻性研究。方法前瞻性地跟踪来自亚洲足球联合会 (AFC) 联赛的职业球队连续三个亚足联赛季（2017 年至 2019 年，每个赛季 13 支球队，322 个球队月）。根据国际共识程序，使用标准化数字工具记录除个人比赛和训练外的时间损失伤害和疾病。结果 总共记录了 232 665 小时的暴露时间（88.6% 的训练和 11.4% 的比赛）和 1159 次受伤；496 起 (42.8%) 发生在比赛期间，610 起 (52. 6%) 在训练期间；32 起 (2.8%) 被报告为“不适用”，21 起受伤 (1.8%) 的信息缺失。比赛期间的受伤发生率（每 1000 小时 19.2±8.6 次受伤）明显高于训练期间的受伤发生率（2.8±1.4，p<0.0001），导致总体发生率较低，为 5.1±2.2。比赛伤害的伤害负担大于训练伤害（每 1000 小时 456±336 天 vs 54±34 天，p<0.0001）。造成最大负担的两种具体损伤是完全性 ACL 断裂（0.14 次损伤（95% CI 0.9 至 0.19）和每 1000 小时损失 29.8 天（29.1 至 30.5））和腿筋拉伤（0.86 次损伤（0.74 至 0.99）和 17.5 天（17.0 到 18.1）每 1000 小时损失一次）。再受伤占所有伤害的 9.9%。指数损伤导致 22.6±40.8 天缺席，而再损伤为 25.1±39 (p=0.62)。记录的 175 种疾病导致每个团队每月损失 1.4±2.9 天的时间。结论 亚洲职业足球的总体伤害发生率与欧洲报道的相似，但 ACL 断裂和腿筋受伤的发生率较高，值得进一步调查。没有可用数据。数据是保密的，不能应要求提供。
