PREVENT INJURIES IN FUTSAL

 Futsal, sports indoor soccer, is increasingly popular in major cities of Indonesia. The sport allows a narrow area of ​​the land provides facilities similar to lawn football. Futsal is a solution for large cities which limited the area open. Even futsal has competed internationally recently.
Playing futsal really exciting, everyone can follow it just by renting a futsal field that is now widely available, one of which, in Jakarta. No need to be an expert first to follow this sport, even widely used for the socialization alone But after futsal is a sport that needs proper treatment, especially in implementation. Because one-one wants to be healthy, instead allowing the disease. It is important to note from the costumes (especially shoes) and heating, and cooling game.
Injuries on futsal is very very dangerous for futsal player. if the player can't make warming up before the match, surely the player make a injury.
 Injuries that may occur
For futsal players who are just starting, often injured because of a lack of heating. One is the medical term "plantar fascitis". Plantar fascitis is swelling with pain due to a small tear in the plantar fascia muscle that occurs due to overuse or repetitive pull of the plantar fascia. This condition causes pain under the heel of the back near the heel. This is caused by repetitive motions that cause a sudden strain. Besides the lack of heating also caused a run on the pitch as hard as futsal field.
The second injury that may occur is "tendenitis Achiles". Perceived symptom is pain in the tendon that runs from the calf muscle to the heel, especially in the morning. Achiles tendinitis caused by overuse in the leg muscles, a hard court surface, proper shoes that do not (too narrow), has been long out of physical exercise and rheumatic diseases.
The third injury is a "strain" or "pegel-pegel". Ranging from mild to severe. This injury is caused due to exercise / excessive movement in a particular muscle.
In futsal same as in the sport of soccer, often when the players were kicking the ball, opposing players would also like to kick the ball so that the leg movements that have been measured can be more than expected because of the impact that can cause foot opponent whose name overstreching. Also because of the slippery field can lead to overstretching (less stretch) due to slip.
A rather severe injury is the "ankle sprains", these injuries can happen because "tekelan" of the opponent or when players want to kick the ball but not raise his feet so that the outside of your foot ground floor grind. Layman often call this injury as "pain ankle". Symptoms can be mild or severe, ranging from pain while walking up to the swelling. Handling injuries with medical rehabilitation

Handling injuries with a medical rehabilitation is divided based on the development of injury:

1. Acute stage, the swelling and pain caused by swelling. Aiming to overcome the swelling, edema of the immobilization (not moving), ice packs, medicine and other modalities of therapy. Motion exercises can begin a limited and cautious.
2. Sub-acute stage, swelling is reduced. Pain due to stretching of connective tissue. Aiming to reduce adhesions and contractures that is by active motion exercises slowly, gradually increasing intensity.
3.  Chronic stage, inflammation / swelling disappear. Pain not due to the strain of connective tissue. Aiming for the recovery of function that is by stretching exercises, muscle strengthening and exercises the functions of motion gradually.

Heating and cooling is just as important to the game. To avoid injury to the muscle for futsal players is important to warm up, stretching before the game and also cooling after heating the game, especially on the foot before doing weight training can help prevent injury. Slight movements during the 3-1minute will warm up the muscles so the muscles more pliable and resistant to injury.

Cooling is reduced gradually before exercise training is stopped. For example with a jog. Cooling to prevent the occurrence of headache by keeping the blood flow. If weight training is stopped suddenly, the blood will collect in the leg veins and for a while causing reduced blood flow to the head. Cooling down also helps remove waste products (eg lactic acid from muscle), but the cooling does not seem to prevent sore muscles the next day, which is caused by damage to muscle fibers.
Stretching exercises do not seem to prevent injury, but it serves to lengthen the muscles so the muscles can contract more effectively and work better. To avoid muscle damage due to stretching, stretching should be done after warming up or after exercise, and every movement stretches held for 10 counts.
if do you want like this.......

to prevent this:

Directly compress with ice and do not be heated, for joint injuries
The injury must be cleared away so as not swollen
The person should rest, do not run out of injury and felt it was good he’ll play again because the injury could get worse
If you sit or sleep, leg position should be higher and do not put it down because then the added pain and swelling.
“If the injury was within 2-3 days the condition does not improve or it gets worse, you should immediately consult with an orthopedic doctor because it’s basics,” said Dr. Andre.
If the injury is the result of breaking the ligaments that normally can be replaced using the patient’s own veins. This technique is called a Double Bundle Arthroscopic ACL Reconstructiondan and the results are good.
Moreover one should also look at what sports is worth it, if the person is obese should not do high impact sports (football, basketball, badminton) are low but do like swimming and cycling.

FUTSAL SHOES

In this post, i'm tell you about Futsal Shoes with its history.
When you are playing indoor soccer/futsal, there are factors that you need to be concerned with that are different from when you play soccer outdoors. When you are indoors, you need more traction, and it is important to have a more flexible shoe. Indoor soccer shoes provide both comfort and function for individuals who play soccer competitively or just for fun.

 

 

1. History

   • The Adidas Samba was produced in 1950 and became a popular indoor soccer shoe because of its design and the traction it provided. When you have the proper shoe, you reduce your risk of injury, which is more common and can be more severe--especially to your joints--in an indoor soccer arena.
     

   Function

   • There are two types of indoor soccer shoes. If you are playing on an artificial turf, you will want a pair of turf indoor soccer shoes. These have patterns built into the soles to prevent you from slipping. When playing soccer on artificial turf, it's easier to slide and fall, since the turf is created from man-made plastic-like materials. There are plain indoor soccer shoes that have a hard, flat rubber sole, which is designed to support your feet on a gym floor. The inside and outside of all indoor soccer shoes are flexible yet stabilizing.
     

   Features

   • Indoor soccer shoes are lightweight and don't have cleats. The sole is rubber and also padded inside to provide proper arch support. The rest of the shoe is often made of leather, since this material forms to the foot while also enabling movement. Most soccer shoes have the same upper (top of the shoe) and midsole (inside of the shoe), so when you are looking for an indoor soccer shoe, pay attention to the outsole (bottom of the shoe).
     

   Benefits

   • Wearing indoor soccer shoes on an artificial turf enables you to show off your skills and keep you balanced, because they are more low-cut and flat-surfaced than regular gym shoes. When you can't manipulate your foot the way you want in order to kick, dribble or pass the ball, you are not able to play at your best level.
     

   Considerations

   • Indoor soccer shoes are expensive, because they are high-quality shoes produced for a specific purpose. However, many sporting goods stores do provide sales, and you can always look for used shoes at thrift or secondhand stores. If you do end up having to buy a new pair, they can be worn on a day-to-day basis, so you can get the most out of your purchase.

HOW TO USE FUTSAL SOCCER OR INDOOR SOCCER SHOES

In the sport of soccer, participants use three different types of cleats depending on where the game is being played. The different cleats range from indoor, outdoor and turf cleats. Indoor soccer shoes do not use spiked cleats, while outdoor and turf soccer shoes both use spiked cleats to get better traction. Indoor soccer shoes are designed solely for playing soccer indoors in gyms and other facilities. The shoes are very low cut and their surface is only a little bit harder than a regular tennis shoe. 

1. • 1
     Certify that your soccer shoes are designed solely for indoor use before using them on an indoor field. You can check this by inspecting the bottoms of the shoes. Indoor soccer shoes do not have cleats; instead, they have treads like regular tennis shoes.
     
   • 2
     Make sure your indoor soccer shoes fit snugly on your feet. You want the shoes to be tighter than normal shoes so they begin to mold to the shape of your foot over time and allow maximum control when handling the soccer ball.
     
   • 3
     Do not use regular tennis shoes instead of indoor soccer shoes. Even though the two are similar, indoor soccer shoes are designed with a harder surface to protect your feet from being stepped on during play.
     
   • 4
     Wear your indoor soccer shoes like you would any other shoes. Put your feet inside them and tighten the laces.

The system of promotion to First Division consists of a regular league with 19 teams and a final ascent. Ascend two teams that replace the penultimate and final Premier League's new clubs must also meet certain financial requirements to demonstrate the viability of the institution.

HISTORY.

Background of the League

Before the creation of professional championship, the various football teams competed tournaments assigned to two federations: the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), bringing together their futsal clubs in the Spanish Association Futsal Club (AECFS) , and the breakaway Spanish Futsal Federation , whose group of teams was the Football Association Board (Asofusa).
After the mediation of the Higher Sports Council , both parties reached an agreement to create a league championship, which would bring together teams of both parties. The tournament would consist of a Division of Honour, with four groups of 12 teams each, and a First National meet over 100 courses throughout Spain , a figure that would decrease appreciably over the years. The creation of the National Indoor Football League was approved on August 28 of 1989 , and his first day was played on September 30 of that year under, the CSD and RFEF. The first president of the league was Aurelio Gómez Araujo . 

Early years

Because of the strong momentum that futsal was the decade of 1980 , the championship was supported by the public and the support of Spanish Television , who signed an agreement with the LNFS to broadcast a minimum of 9 championship matches, including final . The league system was similar to other competitions of the time as the ACB , as there were different phases distributed according to the position reached in the league, up to a playoff for the title that the club would win. The first team that won the League was the Futsal Interviú , Interviú then known as Lloyd's, who beat Keralite Macer FS of Almazora . The Madrid team also took the Cup title .
As it was reducing the number of these clubs in the league, increasing the sponsors interested in sponsoring the various equipment such as Caja Toledo to Toledo Box Futsal ) or ElPozo to stand in Murcia . They also begin to receive the first international stars like Brazilian Paulo Roberto , and even speculates that the Argentine star, Diego Armando Maradona , could play in Murcia, which was unsuccessful. On the other hand, the newly created Antena 3 passes per day to issue a meeting every weekend.
The LNFS the cluster remained for several years. With the development of the League, the Spanish national football classification achieved certification to the different world competitions and sports got settled in the country. During this first period dominated clubs like the Box Toledo FS , Sun Maspalomas Europe , Paintings Lepanto Zaragoza and Torrejón Marsanz among other groups. 

Consolidation of the championship

In 1994 the RFEF championship passes control to a newly created National Futsal Committee , under the Federation. From 1995 is installed to create a regular league with all teams (20 in total) more playoff replacing the cluster and apply the rules of FIFA with a new larger diameter balloon. In turn, the lower divisions that are part of the LNFS are rearranged, so that the First National is composed of nine groups, with one specific to the Canary Islands .
In 1996 Spain organized by the European football, and the national team becomes the champion of the Old Continent after beating Russia 5-3. The combination consisted of players like Vicentín , Xavier Limones , Duck and a nationalized Paulo Roberto and others. A year after the World Cup being held in Barcelona and Spain reaches the final, losing to Brazil .
During the following dates establishing new rules to bring the football on television, such as installation of a blue run at the meetings televised on La 2 of TVE. In turn, there is a generational change and many clubs that dominated the championship in his first years as Toledo (transferred to Talavera ) or Maspalomas eventually disappear. Instead, other clubs are strong as the Playas de Castellón or Caja Segovia . In the case of Segovia team, won twice in 2000 and later became the first Spanish winner of the Intercontinental Futsal Cup . In those years, LNFS adopted the slogan "The best league in the world."
Over time several teams suffered economic problems, even to abandon the professional competition or disappear due to the withdrawal of the sponsors, the decline in attendance at the pavilions, and lack of support from some media. Further, the League suffered a serious institutional and economic crisis, with different relays in his direction. In 2009 there is a relay inside that body, with the advent to the presidency of the league's former coach Javier Lozano , has managed to correct the situation and attractive championship to the fans.
In 2011 , the names of the championships were changed to First Division and Second Division. Due to the restructuring, the Second Division has been reduced to 19 teams in 2010 and 16 in 2011.

BARCELONA FUTSAL TEAM

In football, Barcelona football club is known as a great football club in Spain and rest of the world.Otherwise, Barcelona FC have a club in other sport like Futsal, basketball, handball, and hockey.
Now, i'll tell you about The futsal team of Barcelona.

HISTORY OF THE FUTSAL SECTION

The futsal section was officially founded in September 1978. But there had already been a team wearing the Barça strip since two years before that.

They were a group of former professional footballers that had started getting together to play futsal matches. This was just when the sport was starting to gain in popularity around Catalonia, in the late 1970s. The first official tournament was the ‘Christmas Cup’, of which Barça was proclaimed champion.

A great start

In September 1978, FC Barcelona officially inaugurated the new section, and joined the Catalan Third Division. The team got off to a spectacular start, winning promotion in its first season. Progress was rapid from there on. The team was promoted from the Second to the First Division in 1979-80. And once in the top flight, things continued to go well, and in one of its first two years among the elite, Barça won the championship.

Major restructure

The following season, the Board of Directors decided to dissolve the Futsal section. Four years later, following the changes to the national league structure and the creation of the Division of Honour, the section was reconstituted. Things once again got off to a positive start. In the 1987-88 season, Barça won the Copa del Rey, and retained it the year after. The next season, 1989-90, FC Barcelona won its first continental title, the European Cup Winners Cup. In the final in the Palau Blaugrana, Barça defeated Italian champions AC Roma 3-1.

Hard times

After three years of great results (Barça finished third in the following two seasons and reached the 1993-94 semi finals) the side started sliding down the table. This had a lot to do with financial factors, with the club severely cutting its futsal budget and the team being made up of players developed through the youth system. Despite the gallant efforts of the youngsters, Barça were relegated in 1997-98. After two seasons in the division below, they bounced back up, but only held their place for three seasons before dropping back down in the 2002-03 season.

Third time lucky

This time, Barça struggled to get back into the top flight. With Xavi Closas on the bench, the team finished second in the regular season, and despite beating Arenas Gáldar in the first round of the play offs, eventually lost out to Muebles Caloto. Things went worse the year after. Although ending an excellent season at the top of Group B, Closas’ side suffered shock elimination at the hands of Gestesa Guadalajara. It was the season after that, 2005-06, when Barça finally made it back into the Division of Honour, winning the decisive play off against Canary Islanders Galdar.

Promotion and professionalisation

But it had not been easy. With former Barça player, Catalonia manager and Barça technical secretary Marc Carmona coaching the side, Barça had made it as far as the play offs after finishing runners-up in their group. In the first round of end-season matches, Barça comfortably overcame Grupo Pinar Cordoba, but found things considerably harder in the following round against Colegios Arenas Galdar. The first leg in Catalonia ended 2-2, and Barça had it all to play for in the difficult return leg in the Canaries. Barça had to deal with an extraordinarily hostile atmosphere, and did so in style, to win by a dramatic 5-4 scoreline that secured promotion.

With the side back in the highest division, the Board of Directors it was time to take the team into the elite of the sport, one of the items that had figured on the new leadership’s manifesto ever since they had come to power. The section was immediately turned professional, and a new sponsor was brought in to help finance operations, Senseit, the brand name used by mobile telecommunications company Laiwa. The club opted to bring in some of the biggest names in the sport, including Javi Rodríguez. The finest player in Spanish futsal, and captain of the national team, Rodríguez was attracted by the new challenge and left the club he had represented for nine years, Playas de Castellón to lead a project that promised so much. The objective for the first season was to consolidate the club’s position in the top category of the Spanish game, although adaptation to futsal at the highest level was never going to be easy.

THE BEST OF FUTSAL GOAL KEEPER

Who became the best goalkeeper futsal now?
I think that Luis Amado is the best futsal goal keeper.
Futsal goalkeeper born in Madrid, Spain on May 4, 1976 It has a relatively proportional posture, which is 186 cm high and weighs 86 Kg.
Luis Amado started his professional career at the Caja Segovia FS team 95-96 on the season but due to the less comfortable with the coach Amado moved to Atletico de Madrid Leganes 96-97 on the season and only for one season.
In 1997 Luis Amado returned to Caja Segovia FS, and of course "after a change of coaches' quote that the reason he wanted to move back there who is on his official website.

Amado then in 2001 moved to Spanish futsal club, Inter Movistar. Here he re-add to his trophy cabinet with the Spanish futsal league titles (División de Honor) season, 2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05, 2007-08, won the Copa de España in 2000-01 season , 2003-04, 2004-05, 2006-07, 2001-02 Supercopa de España, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2005-06, 2007-08, 2008-09, and many more that I just got tired edit edit it.

The Goalkeeper Futsal

Goal Keeper is a important position in futsal.Goal keeper in futsal are different with football.
 
In futsal things are different. The pitch is small there are only 10 players on it and the goalkeeper can throw the ball in front of the opposite goal which means that a team can play very low defense and make counter attacks with their goalkeeper throwing the ball on the other side of the pitch. Some experts say that a very good goalkeeper is half of the team in futsal.
A goalkeeper is a very special position and has to be trained different than other futsal players. Back in days a goalkeeper role was to preventing the ball entering into the goal. In modern futsal a goalkeeper needs to be much more than that. He has to be good with his feet too, he has to act like a fifth defender when it comes to long balls and he has to even participate in some attacking plays. Today if we look at a futsal match we see that the goalkeeper is actively taking part in the game.
As we can see a goalkeeper has to be good with his hands for keeping the ball away from the goal and he has to be good with his feet for helping his teammates in defense or when setting up an attack. And there is something else a good futsal goalkeeper has to do and that is helping positioning players in defense. That is because he can see all players on the pitch in front of him.
Achieving all above mentioned skills is very difficult and demands a lot of training. It is important that trainings consist in exercises that improve different goalkeeping skills. But I will recommend that at the beginning we make more emphasis on proper positioning on the pitch and stopping the ball with his arms and when achieving the basics we start introducing passes (with hands and feet) and defense play. But we must not forget that even after achieving some level of goalkeeping skills we have to train them constantly in order retain or improve them.
Some goalkeeper drills:

A good drill for improving players shot and goalkeeper skills. Players position their ball approximately 10m away from the goal. Players start shooting one after another (when first player shoots the next player starts to run). The goalkeeper has very little time between shot and he has to be concentrated all the time. He has to stop as many shots as he can. The drill can be done in two ways: players shot one after another from left to right (or opposite) and players shot one from left then one from right side (or opposite). The drill is more difficult when players re alternating shots from left and right.

Players are positioned on the left or right side of the pitch. They have to try to score by dribbling the goalkeeper which has to come toward them. The drill is good for improving both players and goalkeeper skills. For making the drill more difficult we can allow players to choose between shooting from distance or coming closer to the keeper so the keeper has to be prepared for both situations.

This drill is good for improving goalkeepers’ reflexes. We position two tables at the posts. When shooting on the goal we shot in the left or right table so the ball changes its direction in front of the keeper. We shot at different angles so the keeper doesn’t know where the ball will go. This drill improves keeper reactions and simulates real game situations when the ball touches someone in front of the goal and changes its direction.

How to Play As a Futsal Goalkeeper   Steps 1 Choose your gear. It's wise nowadays in futsal to wear protective padding as a goalkeeper, as quite often a save will require you to dive onto the hard ground. Knee pads, arm pads and some long pants will reduce the risk of injury, letting you play to the best of your ability. 2 Strategy. When playing as a futsal goalkeeper you are required to protect a goal roughly 8ft wide by 6 1/2ft high. When positioning yourself you should always be careful of how much of the goal you are covering or not. 3 Tactics (breakaways). When the opposition performs a breakaway there are 2 main ways to block the shot, the 1st way implies the strikers are running through onto a throughball, when this happens its best to surprise them. A fast full paced sprint to intercept or kick the ball away will surprise your opponent forcing them to shoot if they can. The 2nd way implies a pass direct to the striker leaving it between you and your opponent to battle. With this style its best to be crouched down a little with your '5 hole closed' to prevent a shot. its best to come out far enough to be able to block the goal with your feet if a low shot is taken while still being able to watch for a chip and parry/catch it. 4 Penalties. If the opportunity presents itself the opposing team might be awarded a penalty. Penalties are quite intense due to the distance between you and the taker being quite small. As with most goalkeeping penalty tactics, it's best to make yourself as big as possible. Unless you definitely know where the shot will be try to stay in the center as long as possible as most goalies can touch side to side without moving much in their goal. 5 Free kicks. Free kicks are quite dangerous as they can be right up quite close to your circle. The advantage of penalties is that free kicks allow your team to have a wall. I find its best to have a 2 person wall with a dead on free kick and a 1 person wall with a side on. The remaining players should position themselves goalside of the attackers to prevent a lay off shot. 6 Corner kicks. Corner kicks can be deadly as a quick fast paced ball into the middle can leave you stranded to make the save. However when positioning yourself its best to take charge. I find its best to be at the front post while being crouched down a little with your foot on the post to prevent a low shot on the post or a diving save to prevent a low cross in the middle. With airborne crosses that require a header shot its best to punch the ball away in mid air before anyone can touch it. 7 Overall game plan. Depending on the rest of your teams capabilities, you can push forward out of your box to take side kicks and in some cases half-field shots. Of course if you do partake in this there is a chance of an intercepted ball enabling a shot on your goal while you're halfway up the field.  Tips Be assertive! There's no use being a push over goalkeeper, futsal is fast and intense, the moment you let someone push you around you've lost. Practice! Grab a few mates to get them to hit shots at you or close by, the more practice the better the chance of saving goals. Most importantly, have fun. If you get bored or haven't seen any action take some long shots or get involved upfield
