Question 1

i play soccer and i got kicked very hard on the arch of my foot. it has happened 2 times now and now the veins are buldging out. is sumthing wrong?

Accepted Answer

I do not think so: Most likely the veins are bulging out from the healing process of the injury.

Question 2

how soccer help your health?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: Soccer is a fun way to exercise requiring significant running, some degree of flexibility and the ability to improve your skills and push yourself in a competitive and fun atmosphere.  Soccer is also low impact and so the degree of injury is minimized except at the highest level.

Question 3

what could cause pain in my butt after soccer?

Accepted Answer

Herniated disc: Herniated disc at L1 or 2 level vs strain in the gluteus medius or maximus.

Question 4

can you name soccer injuries and their causes/symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Soccer injuries: Like any vigorous sport injuries range from trauma due to falling, getting spiked or tripped leading to swelling, contusion, laceration sprains, breaks in bones. Conditioning and proper attire and protective gear can help minimize the occurrance of such things. Consussion is probably one of the more popular injuries that require complete shutdown and time away from the game for proper healing.

Question 5

please explain what exercises would be best for soccer players?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: Soccer is one of the most physical demanding sports in the world.  It requires coordination, strength and substantial endurance.  The best exercises would include a combination of distance running, sprinting, and strength training.

Question 6

what is the deal with using smelling salts during soccer games?

Accepted Answer

Mental game: Creates Adrenalin surge.  Helps lungs with surge of oxygen after initial cough and lung clearance. Nothing more than this.

Question 7

is soccer a good cardio workout?

Accepted Answer

Yes!: During the course of a soccer game, a player can run anywhere from 4-6 miles. A good portion of that is done at higher speeds and with high cardiac output (blood pumping quickly). So it really is one of the better cardio workouts.

Question 8

how can i be a healthy soccer player?

Accepted Answer

Basics: A person performs at their best when they get adequate restorative sleep, are well nourished, train responsibly &amp; are free from illness. Heavy training at 16 while still growing and studying adds hours to your sleep requirement. Proper nutrition is an obvious need. You may want to visit our doc for a sports physical &amp; advice on these factors.

Question 9

why do so many soccer players tear their acl?

Accepted Answer

Pivoting: The soccer player probably performs the most cutting motions per athlete per game. Each time a player plants the foot and turns to the outside, the acl stops the knee from rotating and converts that energy. There are many thoughts about the actual mechanisms, but soccer players perform the offending motions over and over again. Some studies have shown limited benefits from plyometrics training.

Question 10

are there any guidelines for veteran soccer players?

Accepted Answer

Stretch: In my opinion the most overlooked preventative treatment for older athletes is proper stretching prior to competition.
