Background: This study aimed to examine the risk factors for injuries related to player substitutions during Korean professional football league matches.
Methods: Ninety-five professional football players who were evaluated by the team’s medical staff for match-related injuries were included in this study. The players were divided into group I (n = 43; did not return) and II (n = 52; returned) based on information regarding their ability to return to the match after injury. We collected the demographic data of players and match-related information and investigated the risk factors of injuries that caused player substitutions using a paired t-test and logistic regression analysis.
Results: The demographic characteristics of both groups were not statistically different. Lower limb injuries were more common in group I, whereas head and neck, trunk, and upper limb injuries were more common in group II. Contact injuries were common in both groups. The proportion of noncontact injuries among all injuries was 41.8% and 11.5% in group I and II, respectively. Depending on the location and mechanism of injury, 100% of noncontact trunk injuries, 81.0% of noncontact lower limb injuries, 25.0% of contact upper limb injuries, and 17.4% of contact head and neck injuries caused player substitutions. Lower limb and noncontact injuries increased the risk of substitution by 7.2- and 3.5-fold, respectively.
Conclusion: Lower limb and noncontact injuries were identified as the major risk factors causing player substitutions during Korean professional football league matches. This information should be useful for preparing strategies to prevent such injuries in the future.
