N2  - It is obvious that sports have beneficial effects on health, but they often pose a certain risk to health. Recent studies point to the growing number of injuries and accidents among players practicing football (soccer). Players are injured during a match (65.68%) more often than during training (34.31%). The most common injuries include damage to the lower extremities (97%) including: bruising (56.70%), muscle and ligament injuries (17%), tearing muscles and ligaments (13.40%) and fractures (13%). A forced break in training activity contributes to the weakening of the player's performance, which is why one of the main goals of rehabilitation is to restore it as soon as possible. This paper is devoted to the characteristics of injuries among players practicing football. The survey comprised 102 athletes of both sexes, practicing in Polish football clubs, at various levels of competition, e.g. junior team of players aged under 17 years representing Poland.<p />  <p>Language: pl</p>
