    Did you know that playing soccer can enhance muscles? While we may not notice it, this popular sport, when done regularly has some huge impact on our body, in particular muscles. Research said that playing soccer doesn’t only involve one group of muscles, but rather a few important muscles in the body, the lower body for example. And since soccer involves running, it's obvious that our cardiovascular muscle is at play, too. Now it's not just the lower body also the heart can benefit. To help you understand, here's an infographic presented by No Max Shred. It explains the different muscles used when playing soccer. 1. Glute and Hip Muscles One of the benefits of playing soccer is, it can help enhance our glute and hip muscles. Did you know that these muscles are essential? We need them to perform many daily physical activities, not just in playing soccer. Remember, the hip provides connection between the legs and the upper body. But how does playing soccer help hip muscles? Every time we kick the ball hard, a linear relationship between our foot velocity and the velocity of the ball occurs. Our foot's speed fuses various factors such as hip rotational torque, hip flexor strength, quadriceps strength. In addition, we can further enhance these muscles with a few exercises such as weighted deadlifts, step-ups, forward cone jumps as well as side lunges. 2. Leg Muscles Probably the most obvious muscles used in soccer, leg muscles are the ones that are greatly used throughout the game. The leg muscles are responsible for running and sprinting—yep, it’s hard to run without these muscles. By the way, are there people who can run without leg muscles? And it's not just running and sprinting, jumping and kicking also need power from the leg muscles. Every time we jump or kick, the leg muscles and almost every part in the lower body work as one, unleashing more power to perform the tasks. Thank you, leg muscles. 3. Arms, Neck and Shoulders The truth is, playing soccer allows us to make use of almost all body muscles. Leg muscles and hip muscles are no doubt included. But what about the upper part of the body such as the arms, neck and shoulders? Of course yes we use these muscles, too. Did you know that in order to have the overall strength of a soccer player, we need a strong biceps, triceps, and shoulders? Also, in order to stay balanced and in good posture when shielding the soccer ball, we need a robust upper body. A throw-in—a play when a player throws the ball over their head—requires a strong arm and shoulder muscles. And when it comes to heading a ball, we need a strong neck muscles, or else, we won’t make it. We can strengthen these muscles through proper pushups, pull-ups, dumbbell lateral raises, as well as biceps curls. 4. Core Our abdominal muscles are vital in soccer. But even more important are the synergistic movements needed by the core in general. The rectus abdominis (also known as the six-pack); the multifidus; the transverse abdominis; the internal and external obliques; and the erector spinae or lower-back muscles are the muscles that form our core. Take note, an undeveloped core degrades your kick and stride and probably affect the distance of your soccer throw. source: http://www.nomaxshred.com/muscles-used-when-playing-soccer-infographic/
