2013, Physical Therapy in SportCitation Excerpt :Burton and Fenton (2007) suggest that the risk of pancreatic injuries in under-age footballers is reduced because of the smaller force generated in collisions. Finch, Donohue, Garnham, and Seward (2002) investigated the playing habits and other commitments of elite junior players following anecdotal evidence that they have considerable sporting commitments, coupled with previous research by Van Mechelen, Twisk, Molendijk, Blom, Snel, and Kemper (1996) demonstrating that high exposure time results in an increased risk of injury. Elite junior players undertake 3–4 football training sessions per week and compete in 1–2 matches per week, potentially increasing the risk of overuse and match-related injuries (Finch, Donohue, Garnham, & Seward, 2002).
The relationship between pre-season fitness testing and injury in elite junior Australian football players
2013, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :AF is a sport that is highly demanding on the elite athlete. On average, elite junior players undertake 3–4 football training sessions per week and compete in 1–2 matches per week, covering a mean distance of 13.62 km per match.4,23 This workload may expose players with lower aerobic endurance and poorer ability to cope with the high running workload demands to more shin, ankle and foot injuries, especially those injuries related to repetitive loading.
The epidemiology of injury for an elite junior Australian Football cohort
2012, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :The lower injury incidence demonstrated in the junior cohort is to be expected. Whilst the AFL players are professional athletes with years of training, experience and skill, the greater number of hours and higher intensity of training and matches could be expected to lead to a higher injury incidence.6,7 Despite the similarities in injury pattern, factors relevant in junior athletes, such as skeletal, physiological, psychological and hormonal maturity, physical fitness, skill level (landing, tackling, ball handling) and participant exposure, mean that attention to these factors may be relevant in development of prevention programmes.20,21
