The volunteers were distributed in four groups, according with week frequency of soccer practice: G1, one day; G2, two days; G3, three days; G4, four or more days of soccer practice for 10 until 60 minutes per day. Physical activity level was investigated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) while athletic injuries were studied with Health Survey. Soccer practice was not associated with physical activity level; G4 showed higher values of metabolic spending. 96 athletic injuries were verified in 87 soccer players (69%), with occurrence of 1.52 injury/ practitioner.
