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.
