Answer 3

Hey, here are some tips!

What is important first is to be eating healthy.  2 things I concentrate on eating either before a practice or after is plenty of fruit (bananas - oranges), along with plenty of water, this flushes and cleans your system.

Another thing you should try, and some may disagree, but keep your warm up prior to practice limited and short.  Do some stretching, but the practice alone will increase your flexibility.  Stretching breaks down and inflames the muscles to a point.  Practicing does the same thing at much more accelerated pace.  When your practice is done, you should then complete a somewhat aggressive stretching routine.  Why?  Because your muscles are ready for it.  Additionally, make sure you wear some type of sweats to keep your legs and upper body warm.  Yes, it looks nice shakin your butt in those skimpy shorts for the guys, but take care of yourself.

And finally, if you are sore, take some Asprin or Aleve (with adult supervision).  This cures the pain from the inside working out, which is better than ice, which works from the outside going in.

As far as the approach.. Look ahead for the take off spot where you would like to begin your elevation.  Practice good techniques to get to it.  Right now, focus on the combination of bending your knees (for height) and the positioning of your arms (kind of like a baseball picture winding up).  Once you get to that spot, plant your feet, elevate, and begin arm movement to then strike the ball.

Let me know if this helps!

Nice muscles!  

See ya on the court!

You need to start before practice with a good warm up then stretch. Stretch the major muscle groups you will be using. Quads, Hamstrings, calf muscles, Abdominal, chest, arms, shoulders and your back. Hold each stretch for 10 to 15 seconds and remember stretching should never hurt and don't forget to breath when you stretch. This will help when you finish. After your practice you need a good cool down session of long slow stretches, the same stretches as above but hold them for 20-30 seconds now. Once your muscles are worked out and really warmed up during practice they are much easier to stretch. This repetitive stretching will help work out the lactic acid that builds up in your muscles and causes most of your pain. If you have muscles or joints that are more sore than other ice will help. NEVER HEAT. If you know a massage therapist or and afford one they are great for working out soreness.

Answer 5

Try using a deep heat muscle relaxant cream. You can buy it at a pharmacy. You put the cream on the muscle and it burns very intensely for a few minutes, like someone is applying a blowtorch to your skin, but it does help to relieve the pain. i used this when i had strained a muscle in my back, and it helped a lot.

Answer 6

Ice ice and more ice... And ice cold baths... As for Vollyball tips I don't think that I could help you there. If you are new to Volleyball then you will stop getting sore after a week or so as your body gets used to the excersize (And to the woman above me who said warm baths, she is 100% wrong, while it may feel better while you are acctually bathing it will make you more sore when you get out)

Answer 7

to relax your muscles, take a hot bath, and relax, and also try and do an occaisional muscle exercise to stretch them a little

Answer 8

to heal the muscles....keep moving...practice everyday each day gradully work more.......this will get you in shape
