What are the terms of good physical preparation?
To introduce this point, it is important to analyze the physical requirements of football and therefore define the methods of good physical preparation of the player. Thanks to the collection of data observed in different games, we have seen a significant change in the requirements of the practice of modern football with a total distance traverse that does not evolve but of sprints or high intensity actions that are increasingly numerous such as the evolution of football. These variations must also be taken into consideration based on positions since high intensity actions are even more frequent in field environments and attackers.
Football is therefore defined as short and very intense intermittent actions, located in increasingly reduced spaces. It will therefore be necessary to prepare players for these efforts so that they are as efficient as possible without being injured.
Now that we have detailed the physical requirements of football practice, we will be able to determine the methods of good physical preparation by the player.
It is a mixed practice with the use of different aerobic and anaerobic metabolisms. We will have to prepare the player to be explosive on the determination of the actions allowing him to make the difference despite being lasting and therefore effective on the duration of the game.
Physical abilities to develop
The oxidative capacity (aerobic metabolism) that allows the player to recover quickly and therefore to have a high intensity as long as possible:
- Development of V02Max, Vam (maximum aerobic speed) and resistance. Short intermittent intermittent efforts such as 5 “/10”, 10 “/10” or even 15 “/15” are those to favor, allowing in particular the development of the oxidative potential.
The ability to repeat high intensity efforts (lactic anaerobic metabolism) allowing the player to multiply sprints or very intense actions:
- Power and speed development on short high intensity efforts.
The ability to start and acceleration (Alactic anaerobic metabolism) that allows the player to make a difference against his opponent in very short times
- Development of explosiveness and liveliness, in particular on the changes of management.
These physical qualities must be developed in this order since the oxidative potential will allow players to be increasingly tolerant of the intensity of the efforts. The progressiveness of their physical preparation is therefore essential to avoid the risk of injury and the context of the training content.
Chronology different forms of physical preparation
1 This athletic preparation is necessary at the beginning to prepare the player’s muscles and joints and better develop targeted qualities.
2. Integrated type: near the field conditions with programmed games, in a closed cycle, limiting external random factors. We can therefore integrate a technical tactical dimension, in reduced games, more specific for the practice of football.
3. Contextualized type: similar to field conditions with themed games, in the open ring, introducing adaptation to the opponent. Mastering some parameters such as the number of players, the size of the game surface or the introduction of specific instructions will play on targeted but much less precise physical qualities.
Conclusion
Here, the methods of good physical preparation at the footballer. It is important to perform a good athletic preparation of the players before integrating the opposition to training. The planning of the content of a good physical preparation must be progressive, continuous, varied and individualized. But it must also be programmed to follow the chronology of the order towards the “chaos”.
In my opinion, it is essential to start with a controlled training phase (order) this allows you to measure the efforts made by the players (intensity, recovery, targeted quality). From
The rest, we will gradually evolve towards the training of the contents in which the efforts will be random and dependent on external factors, in particular opposition to the opponent (chaos).
