Personal Exercise Program For Football

Circuit Training for Football.

Circuit training is a method of training. A circuit usually has 8 to

15 stations, where at each station a different exercise is carried out

for a certain amount of time. Circuit training can improve: - muscular

endurance, cardiovascular endurance, aerobic and anaerobic fitness,

muscular strength, speed and agility.

A circuit-training program may also be designed for a certain sport.

Circuits for this purpose will include exercises to improve all the

muscles and skills associated with football. Example: A circuit

training program for football should include skills like…

Jumping (for a header), dribbling with the ball, shooting, control and

passing.

I am going to plan and perform a personal exercise program using

circuit training as the bases of the skills and fitness required for

football. Circuit training allows these two aspects of my chosen sport

to be incorporated into one single session, it is also easy to set up

and it can allow for improvement to be monitored, which is one of my

aims. The overall aims of my personal exercise program are to:-

1. Improve my muscular strength to help put power in my shots and also

it will improve my dynamic and static strength, which will be useful

when I go up for a header and also change my direction more quickly

with an explosive push-off, increasing my reaction time.

2. To improve the standard that I am currently working at.

3. Develop skills and techniques, so they can be more useful in game

situations.

4. Improve my general fitness.

In order for me to reach my targets I am going to do 2 sessions a week

for 5 weeks, giving 10 sessions in total.
