Introduction: Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world, and the demands of professional soccer in particular are extremely high. Soccer is an intensive sport with many sudden changes of direction, a lot of running and also a lot of duels. It is a very dynamic sport, and therefore injuries in football are not unknown. The most common injuries in soccer are back injuries and ankle sprains. Research goal: The main goal of the research is to show whether ankle sprains are repeated in soccer players after the initial sprain, while the specific goals are to show the impact of prevention on repeat sprains, and to show what degree of ligament injury most often occurs after the first sprain. Subjects and methods: 106 active male soccer players from Primorje-Gorski County participated in this research. Subjects who never had an ankle sprain were excluded from further research. The survey contained 11 closed questions. The questions were used to obtain general information about the respondents, such as age, weight, how long they have been playing football, the average duration of training, and how many training sessions they have per week. They then answered specific questions such as whether they performed preventive exercises after the first sprain, how long they performed them, whether they had a repeat sprain, how long it had been since the original sprain, and what degree of injury occurred after the first sprain. Results: The results of this study showed that sprains were repeated in 61.1% of respondents, that is, 44 out of 72 soccer players had repeated sprains. The research also showed that out of 72 subjects who had an initial sprain, 46 of them practiced prevention. A statistically significant difference was established between soccer players who performed prevention exercises and had a repeated injury and those who did not. Out of 72 respondents who had an initial sprain, 52 or 75% had the first degree of ligament injury (sprain). Conclusion: This research drew attention to one of the most common injuries in football. It also showed the importance of prevention and how big a role it plays in preventing re-injury. It also draws attention to physiotherapy as a profession, proper rehabilitation after an injury and how important it is to sports.
