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.
