Training Rationale
. ATP-PC system allows for all-out bursts for five to ten seconds and a recovery period of 30 to 60 seconds.
. Football demands an athlete to provide maximal effort on every play.
. The longer the activity the smaller amount of total energy is provided by the ATP-PC system.
. Glycolysis is the primary energy source for activities that last between 20 seconds and two minutes.
. This system breaks down muscle and liver glycogen stores without the use of oxygen.
. The ATP energy produced in this process will allow the athlete to engage in a high level of performance for one to three minutes
. Th Aerobic system is the dominant system after five minutes of exercise.
. This system produce energy by breaking down muscle and liver glycogen stores with oxygen.
. Lactic Acid does not build up. This system can produce energy for more than an hour.
. The specific training components required for this sport are resistance training, SAQ, plyometrics, interval, Fartlek training and periodization.
. Resistance training is important because it can prevent or rehabilitate injury and it can enhance athletic performance.
. Football players require a significant amount of bulk to withstand very aggressive body contact.
. An athlete can be exceptionally strong but lack substantial power because they do not have the ability to contract a muscle quickly.
. Muscle fibre groups that require focus in resistance training are pectorals, trapezius and latissimus dorsi, deltoids, biceps, triceps, erector spinae, rectus abdominis, obliques, quadriceps, hamstrings ad gastronemius.
