Physical Education – Futsal

Futsal warm-up

dynamic warm-up is designed to increase heart rate, activate key muscles, enhance mobility, and prepare players for the high-intensity movements of futsal. Each exercise should last 30–45 seconds, with minimal rest between movements.


1. Jogging with Directional Changes

  • Light jog forward and backward
  • Side shuffles and cross-steps
  • Small changes in speed to mimic futsal movement patterns

2. High Knees

  • Rapid knee lifts to waist height
  • Arms moving in coordination
  • Focus on staying light on the toes

3. Butt Kicks

  • Heels to glutes in a rhythmic motion
  • Engage hamstrings and activate posterior chain
  • Maintain an upright posture

4. Hip Openers ("Groin Circles")

  • Lift knee up and rotate outward (like opening a gate)
  • Reverse the motion to "close the gate"
  • Controlled movement for hip mobility

5. Lateral Lunges

  • Step sideways into a deep lunge
  • Keep one leg straight while bending the other knee
  • Stretch inner thigh and engage quads/glutes

6. Fast Feet (Quick Taps in Place)

  • Light, fast steps in one spot
  • Maintain low center of gravity
  • React quickly to imaginary cues

7. Leg Swings (Dynamic Stretching)

  • Forward and backward leg swings (hamstrings and hip flexors)
  • Side-to-side swings (hip mobility)
  • Perform while holding onto a teammate or wall if necessary

8. Sprint Accelerations (10m Bursts)

  • Jog 5m → sprint 10m → decelerate
  • Repeat with different movement styles (backward sprint, side shuffle)
  • Focus on explosive first steps

9. Jump Squats

  • Squat down and explode up
  • Land softly to absorb impact
  • Engage core and glutes for stability

10. Core Activation (Plank with Shoulder Taps)

  • Standard plank position
  • Tap opposite shoulder without rocking hips
  • Engages core for balance and control
