“…The present prospective observational study identified a pattern of lesion occurrence similar to what has been reported in previous studies 8,11,[22][23][24] , which are: lesions happening especially in non-rainy days, with greater involvement of the lower limbs, thigh stretching as the most frequent lesion, and the majority of injuries happening as a consequence of a traumatic event.…”

-Aims: To verify the incidence of injuries in professional soccer athletes in Aracaju-SE and to identify associated factors. Methods: This was an observational, prospective cohort study involving 39 healthy athletes, followed for seven months and evaluated on four occasions (start on preseason and two evaluations with three months of interval between each) through data collection sheet and orthopedic physical examination. Results: Participants were 20 athletes from Club Sportivo Sergipe and 19 from Associação Desportiva Confiança, with mean age of 26 years (CI 95%: 25.2-28 years), and mean career time of 9.6 years (CI 95%: 7.9-11.3 years). The 13 (2.4 / 1000 hours) diagnosed injuries occurred almost exclusively in the lower limbs and thigh muscle stretch was the most common injury. Injuries were mostly mild to moderate (69%). There was no significant association with any of the variables analyzed. Conclusion: Low incidence of injuries was observed in this study. Predominantly, lesions occurred on non-rainy days and were due to trauma. Lower limbs were the most affected location and thigh stretch was the most common injury.

“…The average recovery time for severely injured ankles in professional footballers is 61 days, and up to 28 days for moderate injuries 2 . A large study of 380 athletes demonstrated that following an ankle injury, 73% will suffer a further similar injury, and 59% will continue to have residual symptoms 3 .…”

Objective: To determine whether the bilateral application of kinesiology tape (KT) to professional footballers' ankles can improve their lower limb proprioception.Design: A single blind randomised crossover study. Participants were randomly assigned to complete a proprioception test in either a taped or not taped condition first. Following a wash out period, participants were then re-tested in the alternate condition.Setting: A UK Championship League Football Club, mid-season.Participants: Twenty male professional football players over the age of 18, currently match fit with no injuries.Outcome measure: Proprioception was assessed by participants undertaking the moving target program on the balance module attached to a Kin-Com 125AP isokinetic dynamometer. A paired sample two tailed t test was used to assess whether there was a significant difference between the participants test scores in the not taped and taped conditions.Results: The bilateral application of KT to professional footballers' ankles did not bring about a significant change in participants' scores when tested with a fine movement and balance control test.Percentage accuracy score mean difference 4.2 (p=0.285).

“…In the present study, we believed that the lack of di erence between groups might be related to the characteristic of the single-leg test used. Ankle sprains are associated to fast movements, such as jumps, sprints and changes in direction 2,[4][5][6]8 ; however, the measures used herein, stabilization time and COP reposition in the support, are more accurate to di erentiate between individuals with and without stability 35,37 .…”

The soccer is one of the most popular sport modality around the world, with millions of practitioners of different levels, and thus, the incidence of injuries are expressive [1][2][3] . Among these injuries, the ankle sprain is the one that stands out 2, 4-5 .e ankle sprains are very common in soccer due to the demand of changes in direction performed with high velocities, after jumps and during the sprints itself 2,4,6 . ese rapid changes in direction or landing on irregular surfaces produces a large supination torque, causing the ankle to perform an excessive movement, overloading the joint and its structures, mainly the anterior talo-bular and the calcaneo-bular ligaments 7 .Repeated episodes of ankle sprains may negatively a ect the proprioception, which correspond to the perception of position and movement (i.e., synesthesia) of the body and its segments [8][9] . ese information are provided by mechanoreceptors in the muscles, tendons, skin, joint capsules and ligaments [10][11][12] .ese mechanoreceptors are sensitized by mechanics energy imposed to the joint and it is transmitted to the central nervous system by a erents impulses 13 . As a consequence to sprains, the a erent bers of the AbstractThe aim of the study was to compare the behavior of COP and passive ankle position sense in subjects with and without functional ankle instability. Took part in this study 20 subjects, divided into two groups: stable group (SG) and unstable group (UG). The COP evaluation was made with the single-leg balance test, with eyes opened and closed, on a force plate. The passive ankle position sense test was performed with subjects blindfolded. The ankle was positioned in a target angle (10° and 20°) and the dynamometer moved passively the ankle, then the subjects were instructed to push the stop button when they feel that the ankle was on the target angle, obtaining the absolute angular error (AAE). The following variables were obtained: total displacement (TD); antero-posterior (SDap) and medio-lateral standard deviation (SDml); total mean velocity (TMV); antero-posterior (MVap) and medio-lateral mean velocity (MVml). The comparison between the data with normal distribution was made with the Student's t test, while to the TD and SDml was used the Mann-Whitney test. The correlations were performed with the Pearson and Spearman tests. We adopted α < 0.05. We observed difference between AAE-10º (p < 0.05). Strong correlations were found between: AAE-10° and TMV (p < 0.01 r = -0.867); AAE-10° and MVap (p < 0.01 r = -0.854); AAE-10° and MVml (p < 0.01 r = -0.771), with eyes opened, and AAE-10° and TD (p < 0.05 r = -0.666); AAE-10º and SDap (p < 0.05 r = -0,685) and AAE-10° and MVml (p < 0.05 r= -0.766) with eyes closed. Ankle sprains harm the joint position sense without affecting the balance.
