Football involves sporadic activity, referred to as an intermittent sport. It involves changing direction, stopping and jumping movements as well as football-specific techniques such as dribbling, passing and shooting. These diverse actions require a football-specific warm-up. Carry out these warm-up exercises for footballers in addition to your team warm-up to optimally prepare yourself for your session.

Ideally, the warm-up should be carried out before the team workout. It’s basically advisable to stimulate your cardiovascular system first. Use light activity, such as jogging, to get your body moving before starting the mobilisation and activation exercises.
