关于足球运动中疾病的性质、类型和发病率的数据有限。先前的研究表明，胃肠道和呼吸道疾病是最常见的。目的了解男子职业足球运动员的发病情况及疾病负担。方法在2011-2014年为期4年的研究期间，共有73支欧洲职业足球队参与，共记录了1 261 367个球员日。每个俱乐部的医务人员都记录了所有的时间损耗性疾病。可记录的疾病发作是指任何身体或心理症状（与受伤无关），导致球员无法充分参加训练或比赛。结果共记录疾病发作1914次。疾病发生率为每1000个球员日1.5次，这意味着，平均每两个赛季，一名球员经历一次疾病发作，每次疾病发作的中位数为3天。严重疾病（缺勤4周以上）占所有疾病的2%。呼吸道疾病最常见（58%），其次是胃肠道疾病（38%）。呼吸道疾病、胃肠道疾病和心血管疾病造成的疾病负担最高。结论男性职业足球运动员的疾病发生率较损伤发生率低。我们发现疾病负担最高的是呼吸道、胃肠道和心血管系统的疾病。
Background There are limited data on the nature, type and incidence of illness in football. Previous studies indicate that gastrointestinal and respiratory tract illnesses are most common.Aim To describe the incidence and burden of illness in male professional football.Methods Over the 4-year study period, 2011-2014, 73 professional football teams in Europe participated, with a total of 1 261 367 player-days recorded. All time-loss illnesses were recorded by the medical staff of each club. A recordable illness episode was any physical or psychological symptom (not related to injury) that resulted in the player being unable to participate fully in training or match play.Results A total of 1914 illness episodes were recorded. The illness incidence was 1.5 per 1000 player-days, meaning that, on average, a player experienced an illness episode every second season, with a median of 3 days absence per illness episode. Severe illness (absence >4 weeks) constituted 2% of all illnesses. Respiratory tract illness was the most common (58%), followed by gastrointestinal illness (38%). Respiratory tract illness, gastrointestinal illness and cardiovascular illness caused the highest illness burden.Conclusions The illness incidence among male professional football players is low compared with the injury incidence. We found that the highest illness burden was caused by illness to the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system.
