ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Like soccer, the most popular sport on the planet, futsal also is regulated by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). Although futsal is increasingly popular worldwide, few authors have studied futsal injuries.Objective:

Among the 2006 injuries, 81,25 per cent were characterized as inversion injuries and 18,75 per cent as eversion injuries; 50 per cent were recurrences, and 37,5 per cent of the athletes still had clinical synmptoms (as pain or instability) at the time of data colection.Conclusions:
