Futbol Hakemlerinde Görülen Sakatlık Türleri ve Bölgelerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu 8. Bölge’de görev yapan lisanslı erkek ve kadın futbol hakemleri arasında spor yaralanmalarının sıklığını, türlerini ve yaralanma bölgelerini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Araştırma, kesitsel tarama modeline dayalı olarak yürütülmüştür. Çalışma grubunu 18-41 yaş aralığında yer alan 130 gönüllü futbol hakemi oluşturmuştur. Veriler, yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle uygulanan iki farklı anket aracılığıyla toplanmış ve analizlerde SPSS 26.0 programı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Elde edilen bulgulara göre, en sık görülen yaralanma türü kas yaralanmalarıdır. Bu yaralanmaları diz ve ayak bileği burkulmaları izlemiştir. Yaralanmaların çoğunlukla alt ekstremitelerde yoğunlaştığı saptanmıştır. Ayrıca, hakemlik deneyimi ile yaş ve yaralanma sıklığı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Erkek hakemlerde yaralanma oranı kadın hakemlere göre daha yüksek olup, bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Sonuç: Futbol hakemlerinde görülen spor yaralanmalarının büyük ölçüde müsabaka sırasındaki fiziksel yüklenmeler ve ani hareketlerden kaynaklandığı belirlenmiştir. Bu nedenle, uygun fiziksel hazırlık ve koruyucu egzersizlerin uygulanması, yaralanma riskinin azaltılmasında önemli bir rol oynamaktadır.

Review of Injury Types and Region Seen in Football Referees

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency, types, and injury regions of sports injuries among licensed male and female football referees working in the 8th Region of the Turkish Football Federation. Methods: This research was conducted using a cross-sectional survey model. The study group consisted of 130 volunteer football referees aged between 18 and 41 years. Data were collected through two different questionnaires administered via face-to-face interviews, and the analyses were performed using the SPSS 26.0 software. Results: According to the findings, the most common type of injury was muscle injuries. These were followed by knee and ankle sprains. It was determined that most injuries were concentrated in the lower extremities. In addition, statistically significant differences were found between refereeing experience and age, as well as injury frequency. The injury rate among male referees was higher than that among female referees, and this difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: It was concluded that most sports injuries among football referees occur due to physical strain and sudden movements during matches. Therefore, proper physical preparation and preventive exercise programs play an important role in reducing the risk of injuries.
