Under 10s running problems
(3 discussions)
HI
got a problem with a 9 year old, hes a very good striker and left foot player.
over the last few months the speed has suddenly dropped and now struggling to get past the other players or even run for the ball. Div 1 player with 55 goals to hes name
So im not talking about the normal run of the mile 9 year old.. but a soccer holic that eats sleep football.
the top thighs look like there struggling to carry him when he runs..
something strange but i just cant put my finger on it.

By examening the gait of an athlete it can give clues to what may be causing the problem. What commonly happens is that certain muscles can sometimes overdevelop and cause problems resulting in pain and altered gait. There may also be a more structurally based problem which would involve the alignment of the bones, or soft tissues. These are a little harder to deal with. It would also be appropriote to look at the feet to look for structural deviations there. It’s amazing how much the foot can cause gait problems. These can be corrected through the use of orthotics.

I would highly suggest a complete biomechanical / gait analysis as a starting point. It could be as simple as a muscle imbalance or there maybe something structurally wrong. With a bimech analysis, intervention strategies can often be determined.
