    Abstract

    Introduction: The rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the most problematic injuries in the world of football, not only because of the period that it will keep the subject inactive, but also because of the consequences that it can produce in the athlete. Objectives: To know some of the risk factors, as well as the mechanism of ACL injuries in the last three seasons in Cantabrian football. Material and methods: Data was collected on different risk factors of all ACL injured Cantabrian soccer players in the last 3 seasons (2016 to 2019). These data were recorded through an interview conducted by the Cantabrian Football Federation. The initial sample was 93 people, 84 being men (H) and 9 women (M). Results: The competition turned out to be more harmful than the training (H: 88.5%; M: 77.8%), being the first part of the match where there were more injuries (H: 47.8%; M: 66.7 %). Defenders in men (50.7%) and midfielders in women (55.6%) were the most affected positions. With 87% in men and 100% in women, the injuries occurred on artificial grass with the use of Artificial Grass (AG) studs (H: 46.4%; M: 77.8%) and during the month of April (H: 4.5%; M: 33.3%). In addition, the injuries occurred without contact (H: 73.9%; M: 77.8%) and 66.7% in both groups did not perform preventive work. Conclusions: ACL injury occurs mainly without contact, with the use of AG cleats on artificial turf, during the first part of the game and in April. Defenders in men and midfielders in women were the most affected positions.
