The field case has followed the scientific and technological progress over the last years. In fact, we can say that there have been major changes in it, especially when it comes to human resources (more competent professionals in the sports area) and more knowledge when it comes to material resources (new treatment techniques and new products). There has been a major investment in the academic education as well as in the professionalism of all the agents that work in sports health area. Modern football has led to the creation of a group of health professionals with a degree in sports that ensure a high-quality medical assistance to the athlete. These professionals use modern techniques and have new approaches which solve in a very fast and effective way the athletes’ injuries and traumas. New treatment techniques along with new products are the result of medical innovation and new technologies. Thus, the field case has included a wide range of products that respond effectively to the needs of modern football. Further ahead, a list of the products that are usually part of a field case will be presented.

Footballers work very close to their limits and therefore are extremely predisposed to injuries. Studies and statistical data on field injuries allow us to know how frequently injuries happen. According to Arliani et al. [1], football injuries are estimated in about 10–15 cases to 1000 hours of physical exercise. Most of the injuries affect the lower limbs (70–80%), and most of them are related to knee and ankle joints and thigh brawniness. The same author points out that most of these injuries happen during games and that data help to conclude that an athlete will suffer an injury related to football at least one time a year.

There is a high probability for an athlete to suffer an injury during competition. However, the preventive behavior of the health professionals has deeply contributed to diminish the number of injury occurrences. This way, the athlete’s body and balance is always taken into serious consideration. This complex concept – body and balance – is all about achieving the top when it comes to health and well-being [3] (Fig. 4.2).

These perceptions have always led to a wide range of actions that help to avoid or diminish the risks of top-level sport practice, such as football. Being able to properly evaluate an injury is of extreme importance to make the right decisions. In some cases, the best thing to do is to withdraw the player from the game as the injury may get worse. All in all, the response to a serious injury must be quick and efficient so that the situation evolves for the best. The ready use of the first aid kit and the use of specific recovery techniques assure a positive recovery of the athlete’s physical condition. This way, it is necessary that the field case includes products and equipment ready to be used in the field.

The field case must be light, easy to carry, and functional. The products must be stored in a way that facilitates the quick and efficient use of them. The action of properly placing the products is essential. The field case should be ordered according to the health professional that is going to use it. The products that make part of it should be of different types in order to give the right response to the different injuries that may occur in a game situation (Table 4.1).
