The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of warm-up on exercise injuries. The data were obtained through the survey of 390 soccer club members, and crosstabs, frequency and chi-square test were used for statistic analysis based on the SPSS 14.0 program. The findings from this study were as follows: First, distinct difference, in terms of general characteristics, exists between gender(p>.001), career(p>.05), and exercise time(p>.01) in being injured or not. the lower part of the body(80.5%) including player's legs and feet has higher rate than any other parts, and muscle strain injuries(52.7%) has higher rate than any other types of injury. Second, distinct difference, in terms of general characteristic, exists on frequency(p>.01) in the frequency of warm-up; and on gender(p>.01) in the intensity of warm-up. the contents of warm-up are stretching(51.9%) aerobic activities(29.1%) and similar soccer of activity(7.9%) and all-inclusive(11.1%), the object of warm-up is to prevent injury(66.7%) and to improve athletic performance(23.3%). Third, distinct difference, in terms of warm-up, exists between frequency(p>.001) and intensity(p>.01) in being injured or not; frequency(p>.001) and intensity(p>.01) in the frequency of injury; and frequency(p>.05) in intensity of injury. Warm-up could prohibit soccer club members from being injured. therefore it is required to plan the exercise time, frequency and intensity based on the purpose of exercise and the characteristic of sports.
