To describe the incidence of injuries and explore their relationship with well-being variables, internal training load, and the menstrual cycle throughout a season in elite female futsal players.
A prospective observational cohort study was conducted with 13 professional athletes (24.30 ±2.28 years) monitored over 11 months during the 2025 season. Data on well-being were collected using the Subjective Feelings of Fatigue Scale, along with internal load and menstrual cycle phases. Additionally, data regarding the team's season and injuries occurred during the year were recorded. Statistical analysis utilized the paired t test to compare means between the week prior to the injury and the week of the injury (p<0.05).
Eight injuries occurred in seven athletes. Muscle injuries were concentrated in the preseason, while acute traumas occurred during the competitive period. No statistically significant differences were found for well-being and internal load between the week prior and the week of the injury (p=0.43 and p=0.83, respectively), although absolute values indicated a decrease in well-being and an increase in load during the injury week.
Continuous monitoring of well-being variables, internal load, and the menstrual cycle may help identify vulnerability windows in athletes. Despite the sample limitations inherent to elite sports, longitudinal monitoring within a real-world setting demonstrates that managing subjective variables and training load are strategic tools for observing warning signs and preserving athlete health in high-demand sporting scenarios.
