Common soccer injuries
A sprained ankle is the most common injury for soccer players and accounts for 17% of all injuries in both games and practices, according to the study.
Preventing ACL Injuries in Soccer
There are several well-known programs designed to prevent or reduce the risk of ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries in soccer players. The PEP (Prevent Injury, Enhance Performance) program and the FIFA 11+ program are two widely recognized examples.
Ankle sprains are often caused when you make a sudden stop or change of direction, causing the ankle to twist unnaturally.
