Description
Every football training session and match should begin with a warm-up in order to improve performance and reduce the risk of injuries.
Warm-up in Football provides scientific evidence for the effect of warming up and describes how performance is closely related to muscle temperature. Furthermore, the book explains how the right warm-up prior to a match and at halftime improves the outcome in football.
This book provides a basic understanding of the value of warming up and presents a significant number of warm-up programs that can be used whether you are training professional, amateur or youth players. The warm-up programs and exercises are tailored to different training and match situations both on and off the pitch.
Highlights from the book include:
* New, inspiring and effective ways of warm-up for training.
* Warm-up programs before matches.
* Warm-up programs to improve performance at the start of the second half.
Warm-up in Football is critical reading for all who have an interest in the coaching and physiology of football.
