Lateral ankle sprain (LAS), the most common injury among athletes (Nelson et al., 2007; Gribble et al., 2016), is associated with high direct and indirect treatment costs (Shah et al., 2016; Feger et al., 2017). Among different sports, soccer has the highest incidence of LAS-related injuries. LAS in young soccer players accounts for approximately 20% of all injuries, resulting in a loss of time during training and competition (Kucera et al., 2005; De Ridder et al., 2017; Donovan et al., 2020).
