UDSPÆNDING
(20 min)

Lie on your back. Draw the injured leg up towards your head so that the muscles in the back of the thigh become increasingly stretched. Perform the exercise with outstretched as well as bent knee. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating. The exercise can also be performed standing with the injured leg outstretched on a chair while the upper body is bent slightly forwards.

Stand with support from the back of a chair or the wall. Using your hand, bend the knee and draw the foot up and your knee slightly backwards so that the muscles in the front of the thigh become increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating. The exercise can also be done lying down. If you lie on your stomach you can draw the foot up by using a towel.

Lie on your side on a table. Bend one leg up under your body and let the other hang over the edge of the table so that the muscles in the outer side of the thigh become increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating. The exercise can also be done standing by placing the outstretched injured leg behind the good leg at the same time as bending over the injured leg.

Squat with the injured leg outstretched behind you as far as possible with the foot on a box. Thrust your hip forward and down without swaying your back so that the front of the hip becomes increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.

Lie on your back with one leg outstretched and the other bent with the foot on the other side of the outstretched leg. Draw the knee up towards the opposite shoulder so that the buttocks become increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.

Sit with bent knees and the soles of your feet together. Place your hands on your knees and slowly press the knees apart so that the groin becomes increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.

Stand with one leg outstretched and the other slightly bent. Thrust your weight to the side over the bent leg so that the inner side of the opposite thigh becomes increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.

Stand with one leg on a chair and the other outstretched behind you as shown in the figure. Thrust your weight forwards so that the front of the hip becomes increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.

Stand with your hands on your hips and slowly sway your back, pushing slightly with the hands to increase the sway, so that the stomach muscles become increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.

KOORDINATION
(5 min)

Seesaw. Balance on two legs, possibly using a hand as support against the wall, balancing subsequently on one leg without support. Look straight ahead and keep knees bent.

STYRKE
(35 min)

Lie on your back with a ball between your feet. Squeeze your feet together for 25 seconds, and rest for 10 seconds before repeating.

Lie on your back with legs bent and a ball between the knees. Squeeze the ball between the knees while lifting your head and shoulders 15 cm from the floor, and hold the position for a few seconds. Repeat 10 times.

Sit on a chair with elastic around the ankle, facing the elastic. Lift the leg and slowly bend and stretch the knee.

Sit on a chair with elastic attached to the ankle. Raise the leg and slowly stretch and bend the knee.

Stand with the elastic around the injured leg, facing away from the elastic. Move the leg forwards and slowly backwards. The elastic can be moved up and down the leg depending upon the strength of the knee – the stronger the knee, the lower the elastic should be.

Stand with the elastic around the injured leg, facing towards the elastic. Move the leg backwards and slowly forwards. The elastic can be moved up and down the leg depending upon the strength of the knee – the stronger the knee, the lower the elastic should be.

Stand on the healthy leg with the elastic around the inside of the injured leg. Move the injured leg from side to side in a slow smooth movement. Moving the position of the elastic lower down the leg can increase the load.

Stand on the healthy leg with the elastic around the outside of the injured leg. Move the injured leg from side to side in a slow smooth movement. Moving the position of the elastic lower down the leg can increase the load.

Lie on your stomach across a chair and bend both knees. Tighten your buttocks and lift your legs upwards.

Lie on your back with a ball or firm round cushion under both feet. Raise your backside up from the floor and hold your feet on the ball. Hold the position for a few seconds.

Stretching is carried out in the following way: stretch the muscle group for 3-5 seconds. Relax for 3-5 seconds. The muscle group should subsequently be stretched for 20 seconds. The muscle is allowed to be tender, but must not hurt. Relax for 20 seconds, after which the procedure can be repeated. The time consumed for stretching, coordination and strength training can be altered depending on the training opportunities available and individual requirements.
