Introduction: Because of the high rate of lower limb injuries to army soldiers in respect to their training and physical activities conducted on a regular basis, the present study analyzes the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries to Brazilian soldiers. One of the factors being evaluated is the mechanism of injury. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of lower limb musculoskeletal injuries to soldiers to develop a training protocol to prevent the most incident injuries. Method: A sample of 202 new Battalion soldiers was taken, and 103 of these soldiers pursued medical attention. Their records were analyzed according to the diagnostic, location, mechanism of injury, type of treatment, absence from work, and presence of previous injury and recurrence. Result: 112 lesions were diagnosed in 71 soldiers. Joint pain accounted for 55.4% of the diagnoses. The knee was the most affected site while trauma and overload were the most common mechanisms of injury. Drug treatment was used most frequently, accounting for a total of 58% of the cases. The ma jority of the sample obtained a temporary leave of absence from work for a period of 1 to 6 days or not at all. The previous injuries and recurrence were not presented as risk factors for injury. With the data received, we propose a protocol for prevention of injuries to the lower limbs, with reference to the most common mechanisms of injury, relying on exercises used in the literature. Conclusion: This study shows the knee as the most frequent site of injury and joint pain as the most common diagnosis. These results support the creation of a training protocol for the prevention of injury in lower limb, which is suggested to be practiced in future studies.
