Essays anaerobic training

Based upon these statistics, it is important for a footballer to train both energy sources evenly. Aerobic training requires your body to use oxygen while running, as opposed to anaerobic which requires no oxygen. Aerobic Training is usually modified at 65 to 85 of your maximum heart rate for at least 20 to 30 minutes.

Soccer is a combination of aerobic and anaerobic running. According to Beth Mervyn , half of the running in a 90 minute soccer game requires anaerobic energy sources and the other 50 percent requires aerobic energy sources. Soccer players usually cover six to seven miles per game depending on their position.

Following the warm up, the athlete was instructed to increase the cadence to 100rpm. A 3 second countdown was given, and on 0 a fixed resistance of 0.075 kg/kilo of body mass was applied to the flywheel. On 0 the athlete was expected to be at a maximal sprinting pace (McArdle, Katch and Katch, 2006).

Medbo, et al., (1999) assessed changes in muscle metabolites and ATP turnover, reporting the relative contributions from aerobic processes, anaerobic glycolysis and alactic anaerobic (ATP-PCr breakdown) processes during 30 seconds of maximal sprint cycling to be 38, 45, and 17% respectively.
