The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of pain in the lower limbs of high school soccer players. The subjects were 40 male high school soccer players.

The number of players with hip and groin pain was 25 (62.5%), while 24 (60.0%) reported knee pain, 29 (72.5%) reported ankle pain, and 18 (45.0%) reported lower leg pain.
