METHODS: We analyzed 27 professional soccer players of Remo Club were analyzed during the Soccer Championship from Pará State, 2010. Data were collected through verification of records and application of a semi-coded questionnaire to the athletes; subsequently, statistical analysis was conducted. RESULTS: By analyzing the sample, it was found that most of the injuries were contractures and contusions (bruises), the body parts most affected were the thigh and the knee and the athletes who suffered the most damage were midfielders. CONCLUSION: Several muscular injuries were observed; therefore, a follow-up of the multidisciplinary staff is needed, since this kind of injuries does not occur due to trauma, but rather due to the movements imposed to the players during games and practice. Thus, adequate physical preparation can reduce the incidence of this type of injuries.
