Abstract

Soccer coaches, fitness professionals soccer and athletic trainers have long believed and taught that would have kept them out of the doctor’s office. Are they right?
Researchers recently began to examine how muscles respond to stretching and how this relates to exercise performance and injury risk. Many studies that found reaction time, movement time and balance were all reduced after 20 minutes of standard stretching before exercise. At the elite levels, even the smallest reductions in these important variables could have a significant effect on soccer players stretching before training is vital; hence, many players are filled with guilt and regret, believing that more frequent stretching, especially given the differences in muscle growth at the age of 16 years. Their findings suggest it may be time to update the old rules about stretching. And then this article just wants to emphasize that if a suitable heating program resolves the problem when an appropriate muscle stretching workout day and again will help strengthen muscle flexibility.
