Anaerobic Endurance |
Anaerobic fitness or any training that involves intervals of
intense activity and rest (or less intense activity) are very specific to
playing soccer. This type of conditioning is also quite effective in burning
calories and lowering your body fat.
Anaerobic activity is more intense (70-100% of your maximum heart rate) than
aerobic but shorter in duration. Due to this, it is commonly referred to as
quality training. Anaerobic activity is based on performing work while
supplying the body with energy from stored sources such as glycogen. In this
process, lactic acid is formed in the muscles thus causing you to feel
fatigue or discomfort. Lactic acid buildup is the reason why anaerobic
exercises cannot be long in duration and are usually segmented into
intervals.
Anaerobic endurance refers to your ability to sustain intense activity and
recover quicker. This is generally dependent upon your body's lactate
tolerance and removal. Weightlifters, for example, try to keep the time
between their sets of repetitions as short as possible. This way they are
developing both their musculature and anaerobic endurance. |

Anaerobic fitness accounts for your ability to recover
quicker and consistently sprint at high speed. This is especially relevant
to soccer. Throughout the course of a game, field players perform a number
of maximum intensity sprints separated by periods of lower level activity. |
