The base of football equipment has changed little over the past century. Following the development of industrial technologies, sports clothing is made from more or less modern materials and is characterized by a wide range of prices. The basic requirements for the form are democratic: convenience, practicality and safety. A selection of jerseys, shorts, leggings, shin guards and boots in stores allows you to make a purchase for amateur or professional football.
It is necessary
- - T-shirt;
- - underpants;
- - leggings;
- - boots;
- - shields;
- - in addition: undershorts, underpants, woolen underwear.
Instructions
Step 1
The jersey is the main element of the sports equipment that distinguishes the players. According to professional requirements, it should have long or short sleeves; the back of the product is marked with the identification number and the name of the player. An amateur can pick up a uniform with a suitable number in a sports store; if you wish, you can order a print on fabric in the appropriate company.
Step 2
Try on the shirt before buying it - it should be free of movement to ensure maximum comfort for the athlete. For long workouts and frequent use in warm seasons, it is recommended to choose a modern synthetic material - polyester fibers. It absorbs sweat, dries quickly and does not deform from frequent washings. Wrinkle-resistant fabric is good, especially if the purchase is made for children's play. In the extreme conditions of winter football, coaches advise wearing natural wool underwear under the jersey.
Step 3
Match the underpants to the top of your uniform to match the colors in both details. Additionally, you can buy knitted underpants and underpants of the same tone - these are permissible, but not required, elements of a football player's outfit.
Step 4
Silicone-filled plastic or rubber shields cushion the impact on the leg and help prevent serious injury. Sports doctors recommend these devices for any football game; the coach will not release a professional athlete on the field without them. Accessories have different degrees of protection: reinforced and lightweight. The first makes the product heavier, but reliably protects the ankle; the second option is more comfortable to wear, but the risk of injury increases. The choice is yours.
Step 5
Wear gaiters - they should fit snugly against your shin to hold the shin guards securely and not fold like an accordion in your boots. Keep in mind that a fabric that is too thick will absorb moisture well and retain heat, but it will impair sensitivity (and therefore control of the ball). Thinner garments will absorb less sweat, but will not greatly affect the athlete's feel.
Step 6
Finally, buy some comfy cleats. It is impossible to imagine a real football player without these boots with spikes on the sole. The player takes the ball to lift the shoe, so the convenience of the product can directly affect the quality of the game.
Step 7
Pay attention to the following points. The optimal material for the upper of the boots - genuine leather - wears out, so experienced athletes buy shoes close to gaiters. Business class option - calfskin; elite expensive products are made of elastic kangaroo skin. Hidden lacing, built-in shock absorber and instep support, scented and warming insoles - the importance of these and other nuances in the production of sports shoes will depend on your preferences and level of play.
