In total, 145\u00a0muscle injuries were included. Injury localisation to the tendon or muscle, the size of haematoma and the affected muscle group were assessed using ultrasound. Age comparison was made between younger players (\u226423 years) and older players (&gt;23 years).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No difference regarding injury localisation to either the tendon or the muscle, or the size of haematoma between the two age groups was found. However, the older group of players suffered a significantly higher number of injuries to the triceps surae than the younger players (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.012).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>In a Swedish team of male soccer players at elite level, there was no difference between players 23 years or younger and players older than 23 years, in terms of injury distribution to muscles or tendons. Players older than 23 years sustained more injuries to triceps surae when compared with players 23 years or younger. The clinical relevance is to pay attention to muscle function of triceps surae in older players and to screen those players who may need an injury prevention programme.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>II.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-015-3527-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,10]],"date-time":"2015-02-10T08:09:23Z","timestamp":1423555763000},"page":"2293-2299","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Muscle injuries of the lower extremity: a comparison between young and old male elite soccer players"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Kjell","family":"Svensson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery Stockholm Sports Trauma Research Center Karolinska Institutet Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marie","family":"Alricsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences Swedish Winter Sport Research Centre Mid Sweden University \u00d6stersund Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences Linnaeus University Kalmar Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gustav","family":"Karneb\u00e4ck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery Stockholm Sports Trauma Research Center Karolinska Institutet Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Theo","family":"Magounakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Radiology G\u00e4llivare Hospital G\u00e4llivare Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suzanne","family":"Werner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery Stockholm Sports Trauma Research Center Karolinska Institutet Stockholm Sweden"},{"name":"CIFU\/Capio Artro Clinic Sophiahemmet Box 5605 114 86 Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546503258912"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546511428800"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.183.4.1830975"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","volume-title":"Statistical power analysis for the behavioral sciences","author":"Cohen J","year":"1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ultrasmedbio.2010.07.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546510395879"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2009.060582"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports\u20102011\u2010090155"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00042752\u2010200603000\u201000003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546512470634"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11547\u2010006\u20100077\u20105"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465010290030801"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330\u2010001\u20101164\u20106"}],"container-title":["Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00167-015-3527-6.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00167-015-3527-6\/fulltext.html","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00167-015-3527-6","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T13:08:04Z","timestamp":1760879284000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s00167-015-3527-6"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,11]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s00167-015-3527-6"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00167-015-3527-6","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0942-2056","1433-7347"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0942-2056","type":"print"},{"value":"1433-7347","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,11]]}}}
