The benefits of stretching the instep

I believe many friends who play football know the benefits of stretching the instep. This is mainly because stretching the instep helps everyone play football and can avoid injuries to the instep. You should avoid stretching your instep when playing football and keep your instep straight. Stretching your instep can increase the strength of your instep. Now let us understand the benefits of stretching the instep.

1. What is the use of straightening the instep of a football?

The goal is to make the sole of your foot (with your toes pointing downward as much as possible) form a flat surface with your shinbone (front of your calf). In this way, the instep basically forms a plane, making it easier to exert force after contact with the football. At the same time, pay attention to keeping your upper body, waist, and legs in a straight line as much as possible, so that you can use the strength of your whole body when exerting force.

When kicking a ball, the instep does not necessarily have to be straightened, it depends on the specific situation. For example, when shooting, if you want to shoot with the outside of your foot, the instep must be straightened, otherwise the force will not be enough. However, if you want to draw an arc with the inside of your foot, the instep of course cannot be straightened, otherwise there will be no arc. As for the ankle, it depends on the specific situation, but don't turn your ankle when shooting hard.

As for whether to lift the ankle, it is generally not necessary. No matter which part of the foot you use, if you want to kick the ball high, the method is the same, which is to kick the lower half of the ball. Only by kicking upwards can the football fly. The instep corner kick uses the front part of the arch of the foot.

2. Fitness knowledge in football

Strength, sitting waist rotation, many years ago, the development of football in fitness exercises was still a sport based on technology and speed. But with the development of football, physical confrontation gradually increased, and thus a group of tall and strong players emerged. Especially the strength of the waist and abdomen, which can be used in shooting, heading, tackling, and curve running. In our daily lives, there are requirements for waist and abdominal strength everywhere. For example, when we lift heavy objects, we cannot rely solely on the strength of our arms, but mainly on the strength of the waist and abdomen. In addition, strengthening waist and abdomen exercises can make people more agile in various activities.

3. Benefits of playing football

The nature of exercise. When children reach the age of 8, the fullness of their kidney qi makes them energetic. It is the time for them to run and jump. Letting them play football and exercise is in line with their nature. However, if they are allowed to stay quietly like a little girl, it goes against their nature.

This goes against the principle of "Man follows nature" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Cultivate personality. When children are in a group, they can not only develop team spirit, but also develop friendship and discover themselves. Playing football is also beneficial for cultivating boys' perfect personality. If you stop your child from playing football because you are worried that he or she might get hurt, you are just throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Soccer shooting skills

It is very important to control the strength. If you don't control the strength well, it will be difficult to successfully shoot. It is recommended to practice strong shooting. Even if the goalkeeper is not strong enough, he can react. If the strong shot does not go in, let him slip away. With an assist, it may be perfect!

Choose a good angle and try to shoot the ball at a close corner when shooting one-on-one, so as not to give GK time to attack and react. Try to shoot when there is no one around. If there is someone around, it is very likely to be intercepted by the opponent, and there is no hope of scoring a goal. When there is no one to interfere, forget whether it is outside the penalty area or inside the penalty area!

Choose the side where there is no DF. If you can't afford to provoke them, you can at least avoid them! There is no future in fighting with DF. Speed ​​is very important, don't get stuck, especially when there are people around you! If you get stuck, you will find that you have made the shooting action, but the ball is not at your feet!
