Question

You have been asked to design a training and nutrition program for an intercollegiate soccer team. Design the program (Include information about spacing hard training sessions around matches, talk about recovery, describe regular diet, pre game/practice, during practice/game, and post practice/game diets). Discuss the physiological rationale for your program.

Answer 1

Soccer is the total sport , and the soccer training program should be individually tailored to the needs and the resources , the soccer program into 4 distinct phases ther are early preseason soccer training , late preseason soccer training and in season soccer training and closed or off season soccer training, a) late pre season : endurance training is like a interval training and training should also become more specific during the late preseason and the interval is short and intense, strength training: it include power training session, speed training include quickness and sharpnes , flexibility is increased and more essential and skill and tactile training includes combine skill work with some of your fitness training,nutrition involves 1-4g/kg of the body weight in carbs and 0.25-0.4 g/kg inprotein and high fat foods drink 5-7ml/kg of bodyweight. b)in season training: the goal is to maintain the fitness that developed during preseason regular , competitive matches maintain basic levels of endurance so any assitional soccer training should concetrate on speed, power, power and anaerobic endurance development nutrition:diet to maintain the preseason training, c)closed season training: now stop all forms of physical conditioning now the season has ended.The physiological adaptation takes place the training stimulus is more easily tolerated the training stimulus must be raised to a new level for a renewal of the overload principle and the training process is progressive and goes through a process a overload fatigue and recovery adaptation training for strength, speed , aerobic and anerobic fitness..
