Abstract
BACKGROUND: The ACL lesion represents one of the most dramatic injuries in a sportsman's career. There are many injury risk factors related to intrinsic, or non-modifiable, and extrinsic, or modifiable, factors. In literature at today current evidence suggests that ACL injury risk is multifactorial and involves biomechanical, anatomical, hormonal and neuromuscular factors. PURPOSE: To perform a systematic review of the literature concerning the ACL injury risk factors in soccer. CONCLUSION: The injury risk factors show a low level of evidence, further studies in the field are needed. STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review.
