title: [Injuries among soccer players in lower division clubs].
abstract: Soccer is said to cause frequent injuries among players in lower division clubs. We therefore followed three teams for 17 months, and registered all training and match activities. We registered several risk factors associated with a prevalence of injuries. Our records indicate moderate incidence of injuries, few serious injuries, minimal absence from school and work because of the injury, and insufficient use of protective equipment by the injured players.
