Fourth Observation

Throughout this week, I have been observing the trainers and their workouts with different sports teams. I have been noticing the different equipment used by the athletes and trainers. Some everyday objects and not everyday are used.
Medicine balls are used for strength training, you can hold the ball as you squat or lunge. The soccer players throw the ball as if it is a soccer ball over their head. This shows the throwing in action that is done in a soccer game, it helps build up their tricep muscles. Elastic bands are used to stretch the athletes, as well as tying them around poles,athletes have the bands as resistence. Cones which are often used to mark a field out are often used as points to get around while running. They are also used to jump over when working on field work. A common thing seen everyday are stairs, the athletes run up and down the stairs constantly to build quad and calf strength.
The pool is also another place athletes can get a wokrout. It is a workout that manipulates all the muscles in the body. It is a workout that is an all around killer.
