Shaving for athletes???

[Usafan]

I was watching Patrick Veira one of my favorite players, and i noticed that he shaved his legs. Does this have any benefit to the play of the game?

My friend used to get a body wax when he swam competitively. He claimed he was faster in the water without body hair than with. And the girls at school used to be all over him, due in part (I'd have to say mostly, he was missing quite a few things upstairs in that cranium of his) to his hairlessness.....

[scsurge22]

Swimmers do swim faster without hair as it takes a few seconds off their times but I highly doubt that it would allow soccer players to run faster.

There used to be a thread on here about Ronaldinho shaving his legs and that turned out to be untrue. He's just not a hairy guy. Im sure this applies to Patrick Veira.

i was thinking about trimming my calf hair...im like a sasquatch down there, and it gets quite hot underneath my shin guards. ill let you know how it goes if i do it.

If an soccer player shaves their legs it is not for performance. Henry has hairy legs and he is quick as!! ANyway the whole reason a player might shave their legs is for massages and rub-downs. It is much more comfortables and doesn't pull on your legs when you have no hair

hes french. but seriously if you think you can keep your legs cooler by doing that then go ahead. but it doesnt make you run faster since you have socks usually ove your legs.

Competitive cyclists also shave their legs to reduce wind resistance.

It has nothing to do with sexual preference southckid10.
And I though kids who played for South Central Premier were a bit more intelligent than that. Surely you can do better.

[southckid10]

What may be bizarre to you is normal to others. So what gives you the right to call them names?

[southckid10]

I didn't call anyone names!! I STATED if you shave your legs your gay. YOUR meaning anyone. I didint single anyone out

I know more heterosexual men who shave their legs for athletic reasons.

So no, shaving your legs does not mean one is gay.

Oh my. Thanx for the correction........ :rolleyes:

Actually it's "you're gay." Not "your gay."

The state of our educational system makes me sad. :(

dont make fun of people because they are stupid

In addition, it is much easier to clean cuts/scrapes and prevent any infection s when there is no hair. This is actually the main reason most cyclists shave (have you ever seen cyclists road rash?).
