Abstract:Football is the second most popular game in India, particularly for being a body contact game. Football Players had to perform different types of natural and unnatural movements. For the nature of competition, unnatural body movements, lack of knowledge about fitness and foul play injuries occur at different levels, gender and age groups of football players. The game is played and organized at low cost and not well prepared grounds with comparison to other sports. At least practical experiences across rural Bengal support this view. Even at International levels players are prone to injury for the games speedy character and aggressive nature.
