Get fit for soccer

You've seen all the movies. The whole team gets on the buses and goes to the soccer field, where a battery of hard and entertaining coaches subject the players to months of physical training, perfecting them to the maximum, taking them to the limit so that when they go out on the field they are the toughest, strongest and most durable team out there. However, how can you imitate that training if you don't have access to those trainers? In today's article we are going to take a look at the basics of soccer training to help you be in the best shape possible before the start of your own games or seasons.

The first thing to understand is that soccer requires a wide range of different physical skills, and that particular set will depend on the position you play. A linebacker will have a different training regimen than the wide receiver, and must take this into account when calculating his own training regimen. Simply adjust the following tips so that you get the correct amount of each to suit the position you intend to play.

Soccer games are long. You need to be able to last in the field, and that means relying on your cardio. To that end, you should practice a combination of running exercises and swimming exercises to develop your core cardio and get in the best shape possible. Interval training is key here, during which you run set distances or set times over and over again, pushing hard to be able to do your best within given parameters. Examples of this are running three sets of ten minutes, with a five-minute rest in between, or swimming four sets of ten laps, working for long-term endurance. You can also do the same with sprints, and you must do it to develop your anaerobic skills.  บาร์เซโลน่า

Secondly, you must be strong and, to that end, you must do the most basic barbell exercises in the gym. Your regimen should consist of squats, deadlifts, shoulder presses, bench presses, clean-ups and pull-ups and pull-ups. Don't mess with insulation machines or anything else, but stay on the bar and really work on your strength.

Finally, you need to work on your speed, and that's where high-intensity interval training comes in. Work in short bursts of extreme exertion with minimal breaks in between for maximum results.
