For most kids, back to school means more than just a heavy backpack and
homework.
.
It means after-school practices and weekend games. In fact, your child
might want to be on the field playing even more than they want to be in
the classroom learning. Christopher Ruhnke MD, of the TriHealth Orthopedic
and Sports Institute, shares a few tips for keeping your child in the game
this year.
.
Tip No. 1: Stretch Well Before and After Activity
.
Early in the season, children are more likely to suffer hamstring pulls,
ankle sprains, and calf strains because their muscles aren't warmed up or
preconditioned. To help keep muscles primed for activity, stretch before
and after practices or games.
.
When stretching, some common guidelines to follow include:
.
Exhale and extend the muscles to the point of tension not pain and hold
for 20 to 60 seconds. (Beginners may need to start with a five- to
10-second stretch.)
.
Breathe evenly and constantly while holding the stretch.
.
Inhale when returning to a relaxed position. Holding your breath defeats
the purpose; it causes muscle contraction and raises blood pressure.
When doing stretches that involve the back, relax the spine to keep the
lower back flush with the mat, and to work only the muscles required for
changing position (often these are only the abdominal muscles).

Tip No. 2: Hydrate
.
During the late summer and early fall, heat exhaustion and dehydration are
especially common, so encourage kids to be proactive about staying
hydrated.

Tip No. 3: Condition before the Season Starts
.
With everybody getting back into soccer and football, initially youre
going to see a lot of strains and sprains, because people arent in shape
and theyre going back and running hard.

Tip No. 4: Strength Train
.
As the season goes on, kids are more prone to knee and ankle injuries.
There are programs that show you how to strengthen these muscles so you
can limit these injuries, if not eliminate them.
.
While aerobic exercise, like running, helps the heart and increases
respiratory stamina, it does not build much upper-body strength or tone
muscles. Strength training, however, helps build muscle strength and
maintain bone density for a persons entire life.
