Purpose
The aim is to report the prevalence and burden of all health problems, and to examine the relationship between physical and mental load and risk of injury, and wellness and risk of injury in Norwegian female adolescent academy level football players. All lower extremity injuries, lower extremity growth-related injuries, stress reactions/fractures and hip/groin injuries will be recorded and reported in detail.
Project description
All female adolescent football players attending the “Top Group” (n=450-500) will be followed using a prospective cohort study design (year 2025 to 2027). The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Questionnaire on Health Problems (OSTRC-H2) will be used to record all health problems weekly. Wellness and training/game load will be recorded daily (one year). Demographics, mental health screening, screening for low energy availability, eating disorders and hip/groin symptoms will be conducted once a year.
