Injury Free Play

As we all know that injuries are the worst part of a players life so it very important to prevent the injuries.
Why injuries occur ?
Some don't do warm up or they don't do enough. Some concentrate on just the shoulders but neglect the other core muscles and joints, which in my opinion could easily lead to injuries.It is better to stretch warm muscles than cold muscles. stretching warm muscles aids recovery.
Aggressively over-stretching before exercise is bad. But stretching before you play is obviously a good idea to improve play and avoid injury. Just do a little warm-up before a lot of stretching (eg skip, jog).
There are two types of stretching

1.Dynamic Stretching(Moving)

• running
• Jogging
• High Kness

2.Static Stretching(standing)

Some Dynamic Stretching:
1.Ankle pops("Lightly bounce off both toes while keeping the knees very slightly bent. This is very similar to a skipping motion, except that it is performed while moving forward. The idea is to introduce progressively more range of motion as you move through the prescribed distance")
2.High Kness
3.Butt Kicks
4.Carioca
5.Glute Walk
6.Back Pedal
7.Toy Soldier
8.Pointers
9.Quad Walk
10.Low Lunge
Do these dynamic exercises and then do stretching .
