Exercises for Soccer Players

The exercise of abdominal in parallel that we will see in the video is one of the favorite exercises for many users of the fitness center. The people realize it to work the lower abdominal famous with the idea of mark the bottom of our six-pack. What most people do not know is that it is an excellent exercise for the football player.

As you see in the video is one of the most repeated images in the fitness room. Almost at the end of the training session, the user is directed to the parallel and with her legs stretched out the rises and the low again and again. In a certain part is note tension in our central portion of the body, but the bulk of the work in this action is being the iliac psoas muscle, a muscle very important for the player.

The psoas muscle (ilium) is a big and strong, but above all, very powerful, which is located in the hip joint, its function is the hip flexion. It is precisely this action which we are doing in the exercise of parallel, the flexion of the hip, by what we can say that the main muscle that we work in the "lower abdominal in parallel" is the psoas (ilium) and not the abdominals.
This muscle is present in actions of daily life but, above all, in many actions sports, so the realization of this exercise has a positive transfer in specific sports. For example, when reaching the leg during the race, when we give a kick to karate or taekwondo or when chutamos in football, the primary responsibility is the psoas iliac.
That is, the psoas muscle (ilium) is a very important in the footballer for his involvement in the hit the ball. You should workout in the fitness room, both with specific exercises with overload, as being a very powerful muscle can mobilize some burden, or with our own body weight, as we see in the video. Like that the footballer, corridors, karatecas or which makes taekwondo should enter in their workout routines this year.
We can conclude by saying that this is a good exercise but depending on the purpose of the same. If our intention is to work the abdominals exercises there are plenty of better than this, in contrast, if our intention is to apply it to any sport to what we have seen is an excellent exercise.
