INTRODUCTION
Soccer is one the world’s most popular forms of sport, being played in every nation, from grassroots to élite level. Training for soccer, for all abilities, is therefore an essential area, and one which has seen a significant amount of development over recent years. Soccer training can be adapted to meet the demands of players of all abilities, whether their goal is to improve their general fitness so they can enjoy the game at a recreational level, or to succeed at the highest level. Regardless of individual circumstances, all training programmes should be underpinned by a strategic theoretical framework with an understanding and appreciation of how the body functions in order for the training to have effective adaptations. Furthermore, training needs to be structured to coincide with the physiological demands associated with soccer, to ensure that training programmes are relevant and specific to the context of soccer, which will allow greater improvements in performance.
It is imperative that all practitioners are aware of soccer training principles so they can incorporate an effective intervention when necessary to suit the individual needs of the player. There is no universal ‘magic’ formula for enhancing performance; however, acquiring knowledge in relation to the adaptation process associated with the various forms of training is an essential prerequisite to developing effective training programmes that ultimately will improve soccer performance.
This book outlines the functions and mechanics of the human body, and how this directly relates to the physical demands of soccer. Specific training methodology will also be addressed in relation to aerobic and anaerobic training. The principles of programme design will be discussed, as well as guidelines on designing a training programme for all abilities. Means of fitness testing will also be investigated to ensure that practitioners can monitor and evaluate training programmes. Finally, effective nutritional strategies will be outlined, as this is an essential area that can influence the ability of athletes to train and perform.
