Before a soccer game or
practice, players
should stretch as part of their warm-up.
Stretching loosens up the body, helps warm
the muscles, and allows the joints to operate through their maximum
range of motion without injury. A cool down helps return the muscle
fibers to pre-exercise condition.
The Warm Up and Cool Down section provides
an in depth look into how and why warm ups
are important in preparing the
body for a higher energy production and
preventing injury.
This sections also provides you with a large variety of stretching
techniques and a selection
of games you
can use to make your warm ups
fun and
different for each session. |
Warm Up's should
be fun, practical and prepare the players for the activity ahead.
