Question:

Heart rate and the warm up?

Does anyone know what heart rates are appropriate for trained 15-16yr old soccer players during the warm up for a competitive game?

I wouldn't worry about hitting a specific heart rate.

What's more important is to start gradually and build up to an intensity that will replicate game play.

It's important to make sure that all body systems (nervous systems, musculoskeletal systems, psychological systems etc) are primed for the upcoming event.

mate the average heart rate for your age before soccer should be 50-65% of your max heart rate. your max heart rate is 220 minus your age so 204. this would mean your heart rate would want to be around 120
