The study analyses available data (a total of 564 reports) on injuries to the musculoskeletal apparatus in a series of 240 professional soccer players, with the average age of 24.3 years as of the beginning of all football seasons (median 24.0 years, range 16 - 39 years), covering the period of 16 years (1997 - 2013). The analysed variables included age, height, body weight, BMI, different football positional roles (defence, offence, goalkeeper), number of injuries (injury to the ankle, the knee, lower limb muscles; lower limb fracture, injury to the upper limb, injury to the head, neck and back, injury to tendons and groins) and the surface on which the injury was sustained (dry - hard, wet - soft, artificial). Processing of statistical data and examination of a potential correlation between the respective injury and variables was based on the mixed model method. During the season the risk of a knee injury sustained in a match was statistically significantly higher as compared to training; at the same time the risk was decreasing with the growing BMI value. In addition to a statistically significant training/match variable (with matches posing a higher risk), the risk of injury to the knee depends on the type of surface, where dry surface is associated with a higher risk of such injury. Matches,...
