Examining The Introduction Of The Mountain Bike Into The World Of Professional Football

Professional footballers are worth a lot of money to their clubs and paid very high wages; which is why they are not allowed to take part in extreme sports. The chances of injury are simply too high, meaning that the clubs are unable to insure their players when participating in these kinds of activities. Even with this in mind there has still been a move in recent years to use the mountain bike in the world of professional football. Here we look at the reasoning behind this move.

Aiding recovery

The mountain bike was first introduced into professional football as a way of aiding injured players in their rehabilitation process. Of course players were not permitted undertake extreme mountain biking, but their clubs did realise that casual riding offered benefits in recovery. The thinking behind this move was that cycling provides the opportunity to build muscle tissue and thus strength in the legs without having to subject the body to impact that jogging involves. Swimming had previously been the preferred sports for this kind of rehabilitation; but clubs realised a mix of the two meant that ankle and knee joints were flexed through a wider movement range.

Preventing injuries

The next step of the role of the mountain bike in football was to help prevent players from sustaining injuries in the first place. During the days building up to an important match clubs always fear that their key players will pick up an injury. By getting their players to carry out fitness conditioning on bikes rather than through running and jogging clubs remove the risk of impact injuries and twisted joints.

Enhancing performance

Fitness coaches then realise that by utilising the mountain bike they had a risk free way of recreating sprint exercise, which is required for footballers to reach peak physical fitness. Instead of asking players to undertake sprints and shuttle runs to develop the short burst stamina that is so important to footballers; they began asking for intensive bursts on the mountain bike. This approach served to further reduce risk of injury whilst allowing the development of all areas of fitness.
