Current state of the problem of sports injury in football

Abstract

The article analyzes the current state of the problem of sports injuries in football. The most vulnerable areas of injuries in football have been identified. Possible causes of football injuries and the most common situations that lead to injuries in football players have been identified: defensive play, running, abrupt stop to open or get the ball, kick on the ball, abrupt stop to strike, one-step stop to change direction, foot kick on artificial turf, jump through a lying player, blocking, landing after a header, running after the ball, losing balance, driving the ball, blocking the defender, simultaneous with the opponent kick on the ball, loss equilibrium due to the collision.
 Among such non-traditional means, in our opinion, there are exercises of adaptive-strengthening character which allow to strengthen the musculoskeletal system of the lower extremities, thereby expanding opportunities of increase of special physical training of football players and decrease in sports injuries. Of course, they should be used in combination with traditional physical and technical-tactical exercises and used as additional factors that contribute to the expansion of the functional boundaries of the musculoskeletal system.
 However, the construction of purposeful, specially organized and scientifically sound comprehensive training sessions in the sources we studied was not found, which was the subject of our study. The growing importance of regular exercise, associated with profound changes in lifestyle, requires the development of measures that can ensure high efficiency of physical culture and sports to promote health and improve the performance of the general population
