Results: 57% of injured athletes, being the most frequent fracture (25%), followed by sprains and stretch, both with 18%. Goalkeepers suffered sprain more often (34%), begin 60% of the wrist joint. The sprain was also the most frequnt lesion to defenders (33%), distributed equally in the knee and ankle. On the sideback, the stretch was the most frequent lesion (43%), being distributed between the anterior adductor and thigh, both with 50%. In midfielders, fractures accounted for 36% of lesions, 50% of them to handle. Finally, the attackers also represented the fracture incidence (56%), and again handle the joint more involved (80%).
