Tips on hamstring and quadriceps care while playing football

To protect the hamstrings and prevent injuries in soccer players, a series of specific practices and care should be followed:

Proper warm-up: a thorough warm-up before practice or match is essential. It includes mobility exercises, light cardio and dynamic exercises to increase blood circulation and prepare the muscles.

Stretching: performing specific stretches for the hamstrings and quads will help improve flexibility and reduce tension in these muscles. Stretching before and after physical activity is essential.

Strengthening: Incorporating hamstring strengthening exercises into the training routine is key to preventing injury. Exercises such as leg curls or squats are effective.

Efficient running technique: proper running and stride technique helps reduce pressure on the hamstrings. Maintaining correct posture and a balanced stride is essential.

Wearing compression shorts and pants: compression tights and pants provide additional support to the muscles and improve blood circulation. They help prevent muscle fatigue and reduce the risk of hamstring injuries.
