Footballers
Physical Demands
Football demands short bursts of sprinting, sudden changes of direction, kicking, jumping, and physical contact. These movements place high loads on the hamstrings, groin muscles, knees, ankles, and hips. Rapid deceleration and twisting increase strain on ligaments and tendons, while fatigue during matches makes injuries more likely. Repeated training and competition without adequate recovery can lead to both acute injuries and overuse problems.
