As pre-season begins, it is common to sustain injuries as there is a sudden increase in the exercise load. Due to the high impact nature of soccer it is common for patients to sustain ankle and knee sprains, calf strains, bone fractures and head injuries; with muscle and tendon injuries being the most common.
In order to prevent the development of injuries particularly within this period of pre-season, it is important to incorporate an effective warm-up program, as well as implementing strength, balance and plyometric (explosive movement) exercises outside of training.
