Women’s football community - as you prepare to return to pre season at any level, there is an increased chance of injury due to the lockdown we have experienced, so make sure you are diligent and focus on these areas:
1. Build your endurance base (3-5 cardio sessions per week)

2. Build base strength and good movement (EG body weight squats, lunges, single leg RDL)
3. Complete low intensity acceleration/deceleration and change of direction movements
4. Build up gradually to your max sprint speed
5. Be diligent with recovery, nutrition and hydration

6. Track your menstrual cycle + any related symptoms (after 3-4 months you will recognise which symptoms, if any, are specifically related to your cycle)using apps such as @periodtracker @fitrwoman @OviaHealth @CyclesApp @clue @flotracker and manage your symptoms
SMILE + ENJOY!
