Most Common Soccer Injuries
Soccer is a popular sport worldwide and a great way to build and maintain endurance, improve cardiovascular health, improve speed, and increase overall health. In addition to the individual benefits, the team nature of the sport can improve mental health and build a sense of community.
While soccer is an excellent choice for a sport to play both casually and competitively throughout the life course, it is important to understand the common injuries and ways to prevent them. Soccer is a relatively safe sport, and injuries are estimated to happen as low as 20% as frequently as in American football. That being said, the quick stop and start movements and contact with other players can lead to injury.
Common soccer injuries include:
- Hamstring pulls
- Knee sprains
- Calf strains
- Ankle sprains
- Wrist fractures
- Kneecap bursitis
- Meniscal tear
- ACL tear
- Foot fracture
- Wrist fracture
- Clavicle fracture
How to Prevent Soccer Injuries
Like most activities, it is important to warm up and cool down properly. This ensures the muscles are primes to withstand stress and quick reactions without “snapping” or causing damage. To warm up properly, we suggest combining the following:
- 5-10 minutes of light cardio to warm up the muscles, such as jogging or jumping jacks
- 15 minutes of gentle lower body and hip stretching
- Activity based warm-up exercises such as light passing and dribbling
- Light shooting, starting close and then moving farther away
To cool down, stretching is important to help reduce soreness and give the muscles the best chance to heal any minor tears or injuries before the next practice session.
