Muscle rupture: biceps femoris
Written by:The player must take care of the muscles of the thighs and legs. The hamstring muscles, and especially the femoral biceps tend to suffer excessively, especially in players who have the explosive race as a feature of their game (as in the case of Diego Costa). That is why it is also called "injury of the sprinter or footballer".
In addition to a good general physical fitness, you should focus on the muscle stretching exercises in thighs, both before and after each workout.. Dismetrías of hips must be discarded , thing that causes a malfunction of the muscular chains in the thighs. This problem can be corrected with orthopedic insoles.
In addition there are other factors to consider, for a good muscle metabolism. They are the following:
- Adequate nutrition (any deficit of nutrients, weakens the muscle). A good hydration before and during exercise is another factor.
- Good oral-dental hygiene (any dental caries, can intoxicate the blood).
In these cases, listed above, if the muscle is not well nourished through the blood, this can cause recurrence and chronification of a muscle break.
Treatment
During the first three days after the break occurs, the treatment they receive is called RICE , an English acronym that comes from "Rest-Ice-Compression-Elevation". "Rest-Ice-Compression-Elevation" in Spanish. A good treatment for chronic muscle breaks in the ischias are physiotherapy sessions with diathermy .
When we hear that the rule of "so many centimeters, so many weeks of low", we must know it is an approximate principle, something that is not always true. This withdrawal period may be shortened or extended.
