Abstract

Football is the most popular sport in the world. Like any contact sport it is susceptible to various kinds of injuries. It is referred the link between methodology of training and the prevention of overuse injuries in youth as it relates to maladaptive sport programs. There is an increasing awareness to growth related conditions and the relation of musculoskeletal development and the onset of youth related conditions. This article examines one specific injury sustained by children and adolescents who play football, Osgood Schlatter disease, and the main mechanisms whereby such injury occur. The aethology is complex and the risk factors underpinning injury occurrence are considered, along with injury avoidance tactics.

Abstract (MNE)

Fudbal je najpopularniji sport na svijetu. Kao i svaki drugi sport u kojem dolazi do kontakta među igračima, i fudbal je veoma podložan različitim vrstama povreda. Prije svega, ovaj problem se odnosi na vezu između metodike obučavanja i prevencije od pretjeranog povređivanja kod mladih tj. rješenje u osnovi leži u predviđenim sportskim programima koji se izvode. Na sreću, evidentan je porast svijesti kod različitih struktura kada se govori o razvoju predviđenih uslova koji su neophodni za razvoj lokomotornog aparata mladih ljudi. Ova studija ispituje, isključivo jednu specifičnu povredu koja se zove “Osgood Schlatter” a koja se javlja kod djece i adolescenata koji se bave fudbalom, kao i glavne mehanizme zbog kojih se ove povrede pojavljuju. U studiji su razmotreni rizični faktori koji izazivaju javljanje ove bolijesti, kao i strategija za izbjegavanje iste.
