ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how often injuries happen to young soccer players in Poland and what factors might increase the risk of these injuries. The researchers want to gather information on the types of injuries, how they happen, and what physical traits or fitness levels might affect a player’s chance of getting hurt. They will focus specifically on healthy boys aged 10 to 17 who are active members of a youth soccer club and have permission from a parent or guardian to participate.

If a boy is healthy and plays soccer regularly, he might be eligible to join the study. Participants will undergo some tests to help the researchers understand their physical characteristics and fitness levels. This information will help identify ways to prevent injuries in young athletes. It's important to note that boys who are unable to participate in soccer training or games, or who have health issues on the day of the study, won't be able to take part.
