The second aim is to map the training plan and the environment in which athletes move and to suggest its modifications and exercises preventing the injury. The methodology of the work is done in the form of qualitative research. As a research group, I chose 3 players of the football A team of the Vysočina Regional Championship. The criterion for inclusion in the research was once or multiple times suffered distortion of an ankle. The research includes a semi-structured interview, a kinesiological examination, and a data analysis.

The bachelor thesis can be considered to be a source of information on the issue of ankle distortion and it can also serve as educational material for both the general public and professionals.
