Transcript A Physiological Profile of Soccer

A Physiological Profile of Soccer
By Krista Matatt
• Energy Fitness  High Importance
Aerobic – VO2 max
(Maximum oxygen uptake)
avg. 60-65 ml/kg/min
Anaerobic – BLa
(1)
(Blood lactate)
9.6 – 13.0 mmol/L
(4)
• Muscular Fitness
Muscular Strength  Medium Importance
- used for shoulder battles, headers, and
50/50 balls
- Case Study: from pre to post
season, 60% of total body mass
increase was due to lean muscle
tissue (5)
Muscular Endurance  High Importance
- high-intensity activity occurs every 4 to 6
seconds (1)
- 1,000 to 1,400 explosive bursts in a 90-minute
game (1)
Speed  High Importance
- Soccer Conditioning
Programs (4)
• Power  High Importance
- Case Study: Pre to post season; lower-body
power and total body power increased (5)
Flexibility  Medium Importance
- used for stopping,
starting, turning,
tackling, jumping, etc.
