Abstract
Incidence, causes, and risks for muscle injuriesMuscle injuries in soccer appear in over 90 % of cases in the lower extremity and occur more commonly during competition. The reason for these injuries is stretching of the muscle beyond its physiological elasticity. Risk factors include the lack of warming up, inadequate training, or over-training.Diagnosis and therapyAlmost all acute muscle injuries are amenable to conservative therapy. However, precise diagnosis and classification are required prior to starting therapy. Sonography and MRI should also be included in addition to an exact medical history elevation and detailed physical examination. Besides supportive oral pharmaceutical therapy, the complete range of physiotherapy and, if necessary, injection therapy options are available for treatment. Prevention should not be underestimated to keep the incidence of muscle injuries as low as possible.
