how do you improve fitness?
Sara Lou-Ann Jones
Use fitness tests to profile the player then compare the
results to the demands of soccer at each player’s level.
Perform tests at regular intervals and use the results as
feedback to fine-tune the training programme. Fitness tests
should be an integral part of your training programme and
the basis on which your programme is built. In order to
identify a player’s physical strengths and weaknesses
football-specific tests are necessary. The information gained
from these tests can help set up long-term and short-term
goals. In the event of long-term injury, chronic sickness, or
a planned rest period, a player’s previous assessments will
also provide data that can be used for comparison purposes.
