In terms of flexibility for prehab etc, our objective is to maximize the range of motion at a given joint? If that is true, then having optimal flexibility would give their athletic development a distinct advantage in all elements of their fitness and improve performance?

Would mobility techniques which can achieve optimal flexibility i.e self massage (Foam rolling, lacrosse balls, tennis balls, resistance bands etc) however would that be effective or damaging at that age?

Hypothetically, given that at that age, their mobility when assessed functionally, screened etc. and kids did not get a good score, when could we start those specific techniques as you discussed in your article at that age group or as asked above when could we start implementing those techniques?

Cheers,

Dan

1- Pre-habilitation
2 – Dynamic Flexibility
3 – Nervous System Activation
4 – Game Skill

If so, In terms of the static stretch involved in the first part of pre-habilitation, when Shier (1999) reviewed 138 clinical papers related to injury and stretching and concluded that “stretching before exercise does not reduce risk of local muscle injury”

However more recent research suggests that to help reduce the likelihood of injury, a graduated active warm-up that includes moving stretching sequences is more effective that a warm-up based on static stretching aIone. If a warm up takes place in the order that is stated above, is that saying that the use of pre-habilitation with a myofacial release from foam rolling is to incorporate a static stretch after e.g hip flexor stretch/glute activation in order to advance the dynamic stretch and thus nervous system activation to follow in order to decrease muscle stiffness, increase muscle temperature and therefore decrease the chance of injury?

If the use of a static stretch in the warm up then advances the dynamics stretches ROM, are you saying that having a static stretch preceding a dynamic stretch is more effective than doing a dynamic stretch alone or is it necessary to do a static stretch before a dynamic to warm up correctly?

Would doing a skill related low intensity warm up, followed by dynamic flexibility and ROM and activation exercises, and finished with a higher intensity skill be more practical for a general Gaelic team or not especially for underage athletes?]]>
