Total Reported Muscle Injuries by Muscle Group: 2004/05

Pie Chart: Muscle Inuries by Location

The muscle injuries in soccer are dominated by those affecting the lower limbs, with no significant injuries (those that made a player unavailable for longer than fourteen days) affecting the upper limbs.

Again the findings are consistent with previous studies on soccer injury. The hamstring muscle group was the most commonly affected, with almost double the number of injuries than those affecting the other muscle groups. This is probably due to two factors: the first being the anatomical arrangement of the hamstring muscle group – these muscles work over the hip and knee joints simultaneously, which predisposes the hamstrings to injury; secondly, the physical demands of soccer which requires repeated explosive use of the hamstring muscles during running, sprinting, jumping, turning and kicking.
