Objectives: The basic goal of the research was to examine the methods of application of orthopedic insoles and their frequency of usage amongst the players in the NK Osijek Academy. Study design: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional survey during May and June 2021 via an online questionnaire consisting of 20 questions. Participants and methods: Respondents were 104 players of NK Osijek Academy, from age categories of pioneers, cadets and juniors, aged 14 to 20 years. Results: Respondents started using insoles at an average age of 14, at the time of the study 21 of them, or 20 % were using orthopedic insoles. As many as 81,8 % of players cited the pain of the locomotor system as the reason for using the insoles, and the same percentage of players use insoles intended for sports. In a smaller percentage, other reasons for the use of orthopedic insoles include the recommendation of a doctor, parent or physiotherapist, as well as flat or lowered feet. Approximately two-thirds of players, 63,6 % of them use individually made insoles, and 57,6 % of players use insoles only in football boots when training or playing matches. By examining the impact of the use of insoles, the results were obtained that the use of orthopedic insoles subjectively reduces the painful conditions of the locomotor system of players and reduces the frequency of their injuries. The subjective impression of the players is that the use of insoles facilitates their training and has a positive impact on their football performance. Also, the players showed an extremely high degree of satisfaction with the use of insoles. Conclusion: Players of younger age categories use orthopedic insoles to a greater extent. Also, the use of orthopedic insoles subjectively reduces the painful conditions of the locomotor system of players and reduces the frequency of their injuries.
