Before this is done let's have a look at metabolic conditioning.
If you believe your muscles, heart and lungs are in pretty good shape, I challenge people to consider this series of metabolic- tasking exercises.
But first let's examine the number one problem in footy.
Most agree the total conditioning for footy should include activities for cardiovascular endurance, joint flexibility and muscular strength.
This is usually accomplished in the following way;
Cardio endurance, long distance running
Joint flexibility, calisthenics, buddy type stretching
Muscular strength, weight training
Footy players who desired a high level of conditioning during the off season will spend 30 minutes or more in each of these three areas, or at least 90 minutes per day day.
The combined regimen might be repeated three to six times a week.
Such a long program is likely to leave a player in a state of overtraining, their bodies devitalised, rundown, and in need of rest.
Progress, if it occurs will be slow at best
If such an exhausting program is coupled with football practice during the season, the results will be counterproductive.
Thus coaches usually reduce the time spent on conditioning activities during the the season.
This is good and bad.
It's good because it allows time for the players to recover practice.
Bad, because players indurence, flexibility and strength must be taxed twice a week or these levels will be reduced significantly.
Caches have a major conditioning problem, they must build their athletes cardio endurance, flexibility, and muscular strength and at the same time practice playing football.
But theta still must allow their players ample time to rest, recover and overcompensate.
There is a solution, if you're interested.
