Fitness requirements of Football
Football is a fast fluctuating game involving bouts
of intense energy sprints interspersed with periods
of low intense walks or jogs.
Furthermore the demands made on cardio
respiratory endurance and speed endurance can
significantly effect how a performer maintains
his/her skill level throughout the 90 minute period.

Specific fitness demands of
different roles
For effective performance you require a wide
repertoire of technical, physical and mental skills
Although all players require a combination of...
cardio respiratory endurance, speed endurance,
muscular endurance, power, speed, strength and
flexibility...
the specific fitness requirements of each player will
vary dependent on their position and role.

Specific fitness demands of different roles
Position: Midfielder
Fitness Requirements

Cardio Respiratory Endurance- to cope with the high intensity
demands of continual movement for the duration of the match

Speed Endurance- to continually make repeated sprints over varied
distances

Strength- to hold off strong challenges and win tackles

Agility- to create gaps, move quickly into space and turn quickly with
the ball to change direction

Determination- to continually work hard in defence and attack
throughout the game.
Testing physical fitness
After naming the specific aspects of physical
fitness required for your position it was
important to test your level of fitness.
There are two ways of doing this
Within the activity – General Data
Out-with the activity – Specific Data

Movement Analysis
General Analysis
Video recorded my performance in an 11v11 game of football
against a team of similar ability….
I used this video to complete a movement analysis, time related
observation schedule (TROS)…..
This analysed how often I walked, jogged, mid paced run and
sprinted throughout the game.
The observations were broken down into 5 minute sections this
allowed me to analyse…
The observation schedule looked like…
From the TROS I can see that…
Time related observation schedule
Look at the video of your performance
Every time you walk, jog mid paced run or sprint. Place a tick in the
appropriate box
Ever five minutes you will move on to a new section of this
observation schedule.
If required we can look at this as many times as we like, pause it or
rewind it to ensure the data we collect is as accurate as possible.
What can you tell from the observation schedule
Central Midfield
Right Midfield
Decrease in number of jogs,
mid pace runs
Decrease in number of
sprints
Increase in number of walks
and sprints
Slight decrease in number
of mid pace runs
Increase in number of jogs
