OVERCOMING FATIGUE & INJURIES
Most of us enjoy the football game but we should be able to have fun whilst learning the technical aspects of the game through playing matches and specific technical practices. We need not spend long hours into working at the physical aspects until our bodies reach a sufficient maturity. We should strike a good balance to develop the physical aspect of the game naturally.
Over stretching your body abilities can result in increasing the chances of overloading type injuries. It is always encouraged to promote a fit and active, healthy lifestyle involving plenty of exercise. However, it is more important to allow our bodies to recover from exercise.
Maintaining a good balance of rest and play will give chances of reduced injuries. This is normally associated with over training. As a result, it will also gives fatigue and it will gain an insight into the stress that will be placed on the bodies, which can be long term if not well treated.
Treat your body physics well. Overused injuries are caused by overplay. Do not hinder your own football development. The game of soccer involves strong actions of running, jumping, heading, landing, kicking and fast direction changes, which increase the chance of injury if excessively performed. Your back, knees, shins and ankles/heels will feel affected.
So guys, let us keep our eyes and ears open in recognising an overuse injury. Try to minimise by early recognition and prompt action. Do not dismiss signs and symptoms; the chances of an overuse injury sustained especially in a young player's progress is real.
Enjoy your game
Cheers
