Purpose We evaluated and analyze the injury of the professional soccer player which would be helpful data for prevention of injury. Materials and Methods Thirty-four professional soccer players were followed prospectively for one year and obtained injury exposure rate. We divided the injuries according to the position of the players. injury site and anatomical location. Results Individual players incurred average 10 injuries for one year and the injury exposure rate was 2.9/1000hours, mostly strains and sprains of the lower extremities. According to the player’ s position, the injured area and injury mechanism were different. Defence-Fielder and Mid-Fielder were more vulnerable to injury, 43% and 41.8% respec-tively, and mainly thigh and ankle injury. But Forward injury was less frequent and mainly leg and knee injury. In Goal-Keeper, neck and upper extremity injury was pre-dominant. Acute traumatic injury was 93% and recovery time was average one day, how-ever. chronic overuse injury was less frequent but much longer time was required for recovery. Conclusion The overuse injury is preventable by improving the environment and training program so that more attention is required.
