Objectives The objective was to describe the typical duration of absence following the most common injury diagnoses in professional football. Methods Injuries were registered by medical staff members of football clubs participating in the Union of European Football Association Elite Club Injury Study. Duration of absence due to an injury was defined by the number of days that passed between the date of the injury occurrence and the date when the medical team allowed the player to return to full participation. In total, 22 942 injuries registered during 494 team-seasons were included in the study. Results The 31 most common injury diagnoses constituted a total of 78 % of all reported injuries. Most of these injuries were either mild (leading to a median absence of 7 days or less, 6440 cases = 42%) or moderate (median absence: 7–28 days, 56% = 8518 cases) while only few (2% = 311 cases) were severe (median absence of >28 days). The mean duration of absence from training and competition was significantly different (p < 0.05) between index injuries and re-injuries for six diagnoses (Achilles tendon pain, calf muscle injury, groin adductor pain, hamstring muscle injuries and quadriceps muscle injury) with longer absence following re-injuries for all six diagnoses Conclusions The majority of all time loss due to injuries in professional football stems from injuries with an individual absence of up to 4 weeks. This article can provide guidelines for expected time away from training and competition for the most common injury types as well as for its realistic range.

职业足球最常见伤病复赛前的时间：欧足联精英俱乐部伤病研究的 16 年随访

目标 目标是描述职业足球中最常见的伤病诊断后的典型缺席持续时间。方法伤病由参加欧洲足球协会联盟精英俱乐部伤病研究的足球俱乐部的医务人员进行登记。因受伤缺席的时间定义为从受伤发生之日到医疗团队允许球员恢复全面参与之日之间经过的天数。总共有 22 942 起在 494 个球队赛季中登记的伤病被纳入研究。结果 31 种最常见的伤害诊断占所有报告伤害的 78%。这些伤害中的大多数是轻度（导致中位缺勤 7 天或更短，6440 例 = 42%）或中度（中位缺勤：7-28 天，56% = 8518 例），而只有少数（2% = 311 例）是严重的（中位缺席时间 >28 天）。对于六种诊断（跟腱疼痛、小腿肌肉损伤、腹股沟内收肌疼痛、腘绳肌损伤和股四头肌损伤），指数损伤和再损伤的平均缺席时间显着不同（p < 0.05）所有六项诊断均在再次受伤后缺席 结论 职业足球因受伤造成的所有时间损失大部分源于受伤，个别缺席长达 4 周。本文可以为最常见的伤害类型及其现实范围提供预期的训练和比赛时间指导。对于六种诊断（跟腱疼痛、小腿肌肉损伤、腹股沟内收肌疼痛、腘绳肌损伤和股四头肌损伤），指数损伤和再损伤的平均缺席时间显着不同（p < 0.05）所有六项诊断均在再次受伤后缺席 结论 职业足球因受伤造成的所有时间损失大部分源于伤病，个别缺席长达 4 周。本文可以为最常见的伤害类型及其现实范围提供预期的训练和比赛时间指导。对于六种诊断（跟腱疼痛、小腿肌肉损伤、腹股沟内收肌疼痛、腘绳肌损伤和股四头肌损伤），指数损伤和再损伤的平均缺席时间显着不同（p < 0.05）所有六项诊断均在再次受伤后缺席 结论 职业足球因受伤造成的所有时间损失大部分源于受伤，个别缺席长达 4 周。本文可以为最常见的伤害类型及其现实范围提供预期的训练和比赛时间指导。腘绳肌损伤和股四头肌损伤），所有六项诊断均在再次受伤后缺勤时间更长 结论 职业足球中因受伤造成的所有时间损失大部分源于个人缺勤时间长达 4 周。本文可以为最常见的伤害类型及其现实范围提供预期的训练和比赛时间指导。腘绳肌损伤和股四头肌损伤），所有六项诊断均在再次受伤后缺勤时间更长 结论 职业足球中因受伤造成的所有时间损失大部分源于个人缺勤时间长达 4 周。本文可以为最常见的伤害类型及其现实范围提供预期的训练和比赛时间指导。
