About the Relation between the Occurrence of Leg Injuries and the Physical Characteristics for University Soccer Players.

本研究は大学生サッカー選手における下肢の外傷や障害の発生状況およびその特性を調査し，形態や筋柔軟性などの身体特性との関係を検討することを目的とした。その結果，平成19年度中にケガの経験がある者は61名中19名（31.1%），ケガの発生件数は全20件で足関節捻挫が14件と最も多いことが認められた。平成19年度のケガについてケガ有り群とケガ無し群とに分け比較したところ，ケガ有り群は皮下脂肪厚，体脂肪率についてケガ無し群よりも低い値を示す傾向が認められた。また，下腿最小囲においてケガ有り群はケガ無し群よりも有意に低い値を示し，足関節捻挫などケガの発生に関係している可能性が示唆された。さらに，ケガ有り群は筋柔軟性においてケガ無し群よりも多くの項目において柔軟性が高い傾向を示すことが認められた。以上の結果より，大学サッカー選手の下肢のケガ発生と身体特性との関連は少なからず認められ，身体特性がケガ発生に関与していることが示唆された。The purpose of this study was to investigate of the occurrence situation and the characteristic about wounds and injuries of university football players, and to examine the relations with the physical characteristics such as the leg forms or the flexibility of muscle. As a result, the players with the experience of injury during 2007 were 19 of 61 people, namely 31.3%. The occurrence number of injuries was 20 cases, and the ankle sprains with 14 in all 20 cases were the most. Compared the injured players with the no-injured players, the tendency that the injured group had lower value in skinfold thickness and percent of body fat than the no-injured group was recognized. And the injured group had significantly lower value in a leg minimum wall than the no-injured group, so the possibility to be related to the occurrence of the injury such as ankle sprain was suggested. In addition, the tendency that the injured group had higher flexibility of muscle than the no-injured group in many items was recognized. As a result, the relation of the occurrence of leg injuries of university football players to the physical characteristics was not a little recognized
