Chadli and the boys play head tennis to aid recovery
2 min read
It takes 48 hours for a player's body to fully recover from a game of football during which time video analysis and recovery training can take place.
One method at Spurs it seems is into the swimming pool and a game of head tennis. Aquatic work with high knee running is not only used to recover from games, but in the rehabilitation from injury as well.
It is also a method used to reduce overuse injuries, which Spurs suffered few of last season. Our game requires a high level of fitness and endurance which swimming workouts help to build. It's a great method for cardiovascular endurance. Of course you need to consult your doctor before undertaking any exercises to ensure you remain healthy and are not putting yourself at risk.
Go to the shallow end of the pool where the water is thigh-high and do a 25m run across the pool, then turn round and run back. You then wait for 1 minute and do the exercise again. It will take great effort and determination to keep running at the same speed. You haven't had to go out on a great long run just back and forth across the pool. You'll also be improving your speed in addition to giving your legs and lungs a workout.
You can also do running exercises where your feet never touch the ground. Put on a buoyancy vest, get in a hydrotherapy pool or deep end of a swimming pool and run, you'll need to push your hips forward as you do so. As you feet never touch the floor you reduce the stress on your lower-body joints as well as the compressive forces on your spine. This builds aerobic endurance, speeds up the recovery of muscles and alleviate soreness after matches.
In water coming up to the waist bend your knees to a 45 degree angle and jump in the air, repeat immediately 15 times/ Take a 1 minute break and repeat again, this will help you increase your explosive jumping hight.
The overuse and straining of lower-body muscles (adductor muscles, quads, hamstrings, calves and feet) are the most common injuries in football players, swimming helps alleviate that when combined with other pool based conditioning work.
Nah, let's just have a game of head tennis.
