Training pants for kids

Why training pants?

Training pants are especially suited to wear before and after a football training session or match. Your child can of course also wear them while playing when it's chilly outside. Muscles that are warm handle knocks better, which is why a good warm-up before playing football is so important. Let your child keep the pants on during this warm-up. After training or a match, a child can cool down quickly, so we recommend putting the pants back on straight away once training or the match is over.

What happens when muscles get cold? Cold reduces blood flow, so muscles receive fewer nutrients. Waste products are also removed less efficiently, causing acidification to occur faster, which means the muscles need more time to recover.

Features

Training pants sit comfortably and offer plenty of freedom of movement. Most training pants have zips at the bottom of the legs. That way your child can easily put the pants on and take them off without having to remove their shoes. Training pants fit snugly thanks to an elastic waistband, often combined with a drawstring.

Training or presentation

A distinction can be made between training football pants and presentation football pants. Both types of training pants are made of polyester. Presentation football pants are also known as woven training pants. These training pants are made using a different technique. The fabric of woven training pants is woven, with the yarns woven tightly together. This creates a smooth, supple fabric that gives the pants a neat look. With training football pants, the priority lies more on functionality.

Tips

Play football in long pants whenever it's 10°C or colder outside.
Wash the training pants according to the care instructions. Don't use fabric softener, as it can damage the technical fabrics.
Sizing can differ per brand. Check the corresponding size chart to see which size your child needs.
