Abstract

The significance of football in promoting health and physical wellbeing has been well described. However, football-related injuries are viewed as professional hazards. Thus, research has specified the need for valid conclusions to provide useful information for the prevention and management of football-related injuries. Several imperial analyses of football injuries have been conducted with different designs and dimensions, including media-based analysis as a growing approach. Therefore, this paper reviews media-based studies on football-related injury types, locations, and mechanisms. The outcomes of this review showed that lower extremities, such as knee, ankle, and hamstring, are the most common injuries sustained by football players. Additionally, this review demonstrated that strikers are more prone to injuries compared with midfielders, goalkeepers, and defenders. Interestingly, the findings of media-based studies of football-related injuries concur with most experimental analyses. It was envisaged that valuable conclusions could be drawn to help manage and prevent football-related injury occurrences.
