PEMAIN BOLA SEPAK vs LEMAK BADAN
Updated: January, 2025
Pemain bola sepak memerlukan keseimbangan antara mengekalkan tahap tenaga untuk latihan intensiti tinggi dan mengurangkan lemak badan untuk prestasi optimum. Melaksanakan strategi khusus boleh membantu mencapai keseimbangan ini tanpa menjejaskan tahap tenaga.
1. Turunkan Lemak Badan Tanpa Kurangkan Pengambilan Kalori:
Mengurangkan lemak badan tanpa mengurangkan pengambilan kalori adalah penting untuk pemain bola sepak.
Latihan kekuatan boleh digunakan sebagai strategi untuk meningkatkan prestasi, mengurangkan risiko kecederaan dalam pemain bola sepak & boleh membantu dalam pengurangan lemak badan sambil mengekalkan tahap tenaga untuk latihan [1].
2. Latihan Berintensiti Rendah Untuk Kurangkan Lemak Badan:
Latihan larian berintensiti rendah-sederhana, latihan keseimbangan, & latihan koordinasi pergerakan/otot adalah berkesan untuk menurunkan peratusan lemak badan dan meningkatkan kemahiran teknikal bola sepak [2].
Latihan jenis ini boleh dijadikan sebagai latihan tambahan kerana ianya tidak terlalu meletihkan & membolehkan pemain kekal segar untuk sesi latihan bola sepak intensiti tinggi berikutnya.
3. Mencegah Kecederaan & Meningkatkan Prestasi:
Latihan pencegahan kecederaan seperti FIFA 11+ terbukti berkesan mengurangkan risiko kecederaan terhadap pemain bola sepak [3].
latihan kompaun iaitu menggabungkan latihan bebanan & latihan aerobik serta latihan core juga berkesan untuk mengurangkan risiko kecederaan, meningkatkan prestasi & menurunkan peratus lemak badan [4].

PROTEIN UNTUK PEMAIN BOLA SEPAK
Updated: February, 2025
Pengambilan protein untuk pemain bola sepak berbeza-beza berdasarkan faktor seperti umur, intensiti latihan dan keperluan individu. Walau bagaimanapun, berikut adalah beberapa garis panduan:
1. Pengambilan Protein Disyorkan:
Pemain Junior: Pengambilan protein yang disyorkan untuk pemain bola sepak remaja (berumur 10.0–19.3) adalah lebih kurang 1.9 gram per kilogram berat badan sehari ¹.
Pemain Senior: Untuk pemain bola sepak senior (berumur 20.7–27.1), pengambilan protein yang disyorkan ialah sekitar 1.8 gram setiap kilogram berat badan sehari ¹.
2. Nasihat Praktikal:
Sasarkan pengambilan protein 1.4–1.7 gram setiap kilogram berat badan sehari untuk memenuhi keperluan pemain bola sepak ².
Dengan mengandaikan akses kepada pelbagai makanan, mencapai pengambilan protein ini sepatutnya boleh dilaksanakan untuk kebanyakan peserta bola sepak ².
3. Syor Am:
Protein hendaklah membentuk 10% daripada diet biasa pemain bola sepak, yang diterjemahkan kepada 0.5 hingga 0.8 gram protein setiap kilogram berat badan ³.

Updated: March, 2025
Stretching is often perceived as a critical component of physical fitness, particularly in sports and exercise contexts. However, the necessity of stretching for children is debated among researchers and practitioners in physical education and sports science. It is essential to understand that children, unlike adults, have unique physiological characteristics that influence their flexibility and the need for stretching exercises.
ROLE OF TENDONS & LIGAMENTS
Stretching is not solely related to muscles; tendons and ligaments play a significant role in overall flexibility and joint health. Both structures can benefit from stretching, as it helps maintain their elasticity and function. Developing these connective tissues in children is crucial for preventing injuries, especially in active sports.
STRETCHING & ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
While some argue that stretching does not significantly enhance athletic performance, it is essential to recognize that flexibility contributes to overall movement efficiency. For young athletes, a balanced approach that includes flexibility training can improve performance in sports that require a wide range of motion, such as soccer and gymnastics.
It is advisable for parents and educators to encourage children to participate in activities that naturally incorporate stretching, such as dance, gymnastics, and martial arts. These activities promote flexibility and enhance coordination and balance, vital for overall physical development. While children may not require traditional stretching routines like adults, incorporating flexibility training into their physical activities is beneficial. It supports muscle and connective tissue development, enhances athletic performance, and improves psychological well-being.
