ABSTRACT
Soccer is the largest participation sport in Holland with about one million registered players, of which half are youths. Though acute injury is the main problem in soccer, overuse injuries are common among players. According to Ekstrand (1982) 30% of all soccer injuries are overuse injuries. Adductor tenosynovitis and Achilles tendinitis are the most common types. In this article Achilles tendinitis and all the measures to prevent this disabling condition are considered.
