| description | The study sought to establish the common soccer injuries, their causes and management
among Busitema University athletes. The study used a cross-sectional survey design
involving quantitative and qualitative approaches on a sample of 76 respondents, obtained
by simple random and purposive sampling techniques. Data was collected by use of selfadministered
questionnaires, an observational tool and interview guide. Quantitative data
analysis involved generation of descriptive statistics; frequencies, percentages and means.
Qualitative data was analysed using content analysis. The study established that the common
injuries were ligament sprain or strains (56.6%) and re-injuries (55.1%). Dry and hard
grounds, joint instability, bad playing field conditions, inadequate treatment/ rehabilitation
from previous injury, exercise overload/ over training, poor skill execution, poor training
techniques and player neglect caused the injuries. It was recommended that quality playing
fields and equipment, providing players with adequate attention and advocating for full
implementation of fair play rules should be fostered to abate sports injuries.
