  1. Physiological Profile of a Soccer Player Sienna Boyd

  2. Fitness Demands

  3. Aerobic and Anaerobic Fitness • 3 or 4 mmol/L blood lactate level • 8-12 km close to- LT (Lactate Threshold) • 82-85% VO2max- 87-90% HRmax • 90 seconds- 2-3 seconds- 10-20 meters • 98% Aerobic: 2% Anaerobic- Metabolisms

  4. Muscular Fitness • Muscular Power Important • Power versus strength debate • Muscular Endurance- length of game • Flexibility- turning, swerving, receiving

  5. Specific Positions- Purposeful Movements • Defenders- most- Jogging, skipping, shuffling • Least- sprinting, running • Midfielders- most- running, sprinting • Standing still, shuffling • Strikers- most- jumping, diving, landing • Need physical strength for contact- also defenders

  6. Elite Female Soccer Player • Compared to elite men soccer players • Same distance and activity changes • Differences in distance- high intensity running • Strength- same relational, different absolute
