Anyway, I have football practices! Okay, I made a topic about it because I'm always sore after the practices. :angry: So could anyone recommend me some tips to make the soreness less?
Right now, a friend told me to stretch and put ice bags on my soreness parts. :/ It helped a little, but I won't have enough ice + ice bags to do it! ;)
Sweet and short: GIVE ME SOME TIPS FOR MY SORENESS!!! THANKS!

I presume you mean American football.
I have track practice, which is probably not as physically grueling (only endurance wise), but even so. Massagin you muscles is something I'd recommend. Cool water also helps (no need for ice, causes a bit of a shock for me).

I do track and ITF TaeKwonDo, both of which are endurance-heavy. I obviously get brusied a lot with the latter, beause it's a Martial Art. A bath (cold or warm) works for me. If you have a jacuzzi, even better. =P Stretching and massaging muscles help a lot afterwards, too. Water loosens it up, so it can recover better.

Also, do active stretches. Walk for a few minutes, slow down the pace of your body before you rest them.
And if you're lucky enough...
I remember one time I went to the park near my school after conditioning exercises. Lucky I have such close friends, no girl would give me such a nice massage...
Fastest recovery I ever had, 'nuff said. ;)

LOL! I'll let my friends do some massage for me too! :o Yes, they've done it before but they haven't after my football practices because I stink then. <_< And about the active stretches...well, do I just walk and slow down? Like walking at 4 MPH and then it gets slower and slower by every mere 10 seconds or so? (Poor example I know. lol) (Oh, when I was talking about "they" I was referring to my female friends. <3 XD)
MD: How do you treat to your brusies? I got some too, so might as well ask in this topic instead of making another.

I usually get them on the shin area, but I just leave it. It'll go away in about a day or so. Otherwise, I'd jsut use an ice pack or something cool to put on it.

I do track, and after some evil practice, if you have the right bath cyrstals, it really helps. Of course, it also makes you smell funky. In a fresh way. Otherwise, I just ice it.

I have three-and-a-half hour soccer practices every morning, so I know what you're going through
1 word:
Gatorade.
Stiff and sore muscles usually stem from a mineral shortage.
slightly more words:
I would highly reccomend stretching before and after practice.
Even if you feel tired, keep moving a little. A ten minute walk is fine, just don't sit around for too long, that gives your muscles the chance to stiffen.

@MD: Hm, how can your bruises go bye-bye so fast?
@FD: What are these so called "Bath Crystals"?
@PD: Hm, I'm getting your point now. Just took your Gatorade tip..really helped! <_<

Uhhhh...They're crystals designed to go in baths. But really, they are special cyrstals/salts that are designed to help with crampedness and other stuff. And as an added benefit, they make you smell funky fresh. Hooray!

Funky fresh... <_<
Straight after I get home (8:00pm), I'm relaxing my legs, so the bruise has time to settle. I got 2 hour rest with some walking and sleep after taht. In the morning, the bruise is barely visible and it doesn't hurt. Kind of hard to judge, though since I've trained myself to ignore bits of pain here and there.
