Self-massage
Regeneration
Individual work
The participants massage their upper and lower legs as well as possible on their own. Massage in this order: stroking, kneading, stroking, pressing, stroking, walking, stroking.
Pro Tn:
1 soft mat (none)

Relaxation
Individual work
Starting position:
Position the ball next to the armpit and slightly under the collarbone with a block. Grasp the block with both hands by the sides or the notches.
Execution:
Apply pressure to the block (and therefore the ball) with your hand and work the entire pectoral muscle with circular movements. If a point in the chest muscles is particularly painful, the ball can be pressed into this point for several seconds to relieve tension. Then switch sides.
1 massage ball
Self-massage: sole of the foot
Relaxation
Individual work
Starting position:
Place one foot on the ball in a standing position.
Execution:
Place your body weight over the foot and move the ball back and forth on the sole of the foot using circular movements. If a point on the sole of the foot is particularly painful, the ball can be pressed into this point for several seconds to relieve tension. Then switch sides.

Relaxation
Individual work
Starting position:
Sitting, place the ball under one side of the buttocks and support the hands next to the buttocks. Place the leg on the same side over the bent other leg.
Execution:
Move the ball back and forth under the buttocks by bending and stretching the bent leg (circular movements). The hands serve as a support. The pressure is relieved or intensified by slightly lifting the buttocks or pressing against the ball. If a point on the buttocks is felt to be particularly painful, the ball can be pressed into this point for several seconds to relieve tension. Then switch sides.
1 massage ball
Self-massage: Neck muscles
Relaxation
Individual work

Turn your head slowly to the left and right or make nodding movements. If one point of the neck muscles is particularly painful, the ball can be pressed into this point for several seconds to relieve tension
1 massage ball
Self-massage: upper arm muscles
Relaxation
Individual work
Starting position:
Position yourself sideways to the wall and wedge the ball between your upper arm and the wall (or on your side).
Execution:
Guide the ball along your upper arm by bending and stretching your legs. The intensity can be changed by applying more/less pressure with the upper body. If one point on the upper arm is particularly painful, the ball can be pressed on this point for several seconds to relieve tension. Then switch sides.
1 massage ball
Self-massage: Back muscles
Relaxation
Individual work
Starting position:
Standing, clamp the ball between your back and the wall (next to your spine).

Starting position:
Sitting, place the ball in your lower back above the iliac crest and bend your legs slightly. Support your upper body with your arms as you lean backwards.
Execution:
Lean back slightly, lift the buttocks and slowly roll the ball forwards and backwards so that the entire lower back is covered (along the spine, not on the spine!). If one point of the back muscles is particularly painful, the ball can be pressed on this point for several seconds to relieve tension. Then switch sides.

Independent preparation/practice
Miscellaneous
Each participant uses the time provided to prepare specifically for the following sporting requirements according to their own needs. This may involve exercises that affect the participant's own body (mobilisation exercises, dynamic stretching, increasing heart rate, strengthening) or it may also be possible to practise on a piece of equipment/aid in order to prepare for a possible task/exam.
Lowering the shoulders on a slope (active slope) ► active hang
Power
Individual work

Hold on to the horizontal bar in a hanging position (full body extension, arms stretched out overhead in a high position - passive hang) (the position can be assumed with the help of a bench or a chair), the hands grasp the bar with an overhand grip (palms facing backwards), the arms are positioned shoulder-width apart. Switch from the passive to the active hang by pulling the shoulders downwards while the elbows remain stable. Hold the position for as long as possible. After the exercise, slowly place your feet back on the chair or bench before releasing your hands from the bar or dropping to the floor to stand.
Attention:
Let your upper body hang still (no swinging; tense your core muscles); arms are fully extended (no bending of the elbows); do not deliberately point your chest upwards, but try to work only in the vertical plane by pulling your shoulders downwards.
Lighten:
Do the exercise for a shorter period of time; use the elastic band as support (place one or both feet on the band).
Harden:
Additional weight.
Variant I:
Knee bent.
Variant II:
Grab the bar with a neutral grip or underhand grip (palm facing your face).
