Player Fitness and Conditioning
Player and team’s conditioning and fitness levels are a vital component within football which can make the world of difference within a match situation, helping players to perform to the best of their ability for the entire length of the game as well as giving players and teams an advantage in the later stages of a match.
Fitness and conditioning primarily has two main focuses:
• Performance Enhancement - by developing muscle strength, strength endurance, power (speed and agility) and sports specific (functional) movements.
• Injury Prevention - through postural training, stability, core strengthening and movement (sports related) based assessment.
Another important component of the fitness and conditioning involves working with the physiotherapist on the rehabilitation of players returning from injury, helping players return to full fitness taking them through the numerous stages of rehabilitation, ensuring they are working at the correct level for the stage they are at helping the to return at the correct time for optimum performance.
Fitness levels of all players will be monitored using heart rate monitors at all training sessions to ensure players are working at the correct levels for optimum fitness and performance.
