The Best Soccer Warm-Up

An important factor in achieving peak performance in football is warming up properly. Before obtaining the details of the best warm-up, allow me to begin a story.

A team that I had consulted a weekend of the tournament, with games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at 8. During Saturday's match, the team was behind 2-0 in the first 15 minutes of play for a draw, the rest of the game. The coach knew the players were slow and were not adequately prepared to playoutset.

Thurs The next morning was different. The team reported to camp early for a long heating depth. The result of this strategy was an early 2-0 lead in the first 5 minutes while playing a draw, even the remaining time.

The important point because of this story is how the product as a result of their heating. The first game warm-up was composed of players who were very social. On the short ride and some 'stretching and staticfollowed with a little 'more dynamic stretching before the game. No player has even broken a sweat! The second game was much different. After a slight run for the team stretches their experiences with the accent (to urge the coaches) and sweated just before kickoff. What can we learn from this story?

The first key point is that soccer warm-up is to prepare players for the game. Each player will start should be sweating right before the game. This issign the body is warm. A warm body and warm the muscles, lead to rapid muscle contractions that lead to improvements in speed and power. This is obviously essential for 50/50 and marginalize the balls long distances.

Under Cup warm-up, stretching should be performed. The current debate can be confusing to some coaches. After an initial jogging increase the flow of blood, light static stretching, or stretches held in place for up to 30 seconds, must be performed. These static stretchingshall verify the range of motion, not to improve flexibility.

Once the athlete has reached the normal range of motion, soccer warm-up should move to dynamic stretching, or stretches that involve the movement. These areas continue to warm the body while moving from easy and slow movements to fast, explosive and game, as the movements. When this sequence was followed, the athletes feel ready to play. The amount of time required may vary from the age and preferencethe athlete. Older athletes may need more time to warm up, while the younger athletes need less.

Here's an example of football warm-up pattern:
5 minutes light jog
10 minutes of static stretching range of motion tests
10 minutes dynamic stretching
10 minutes playing situation and ability to work.

Try these strategies and see the difference in how your players play.
