The critical distance is 0-5 m. Thats the famous one step faster. Based on
player statistics of the English Premier League, players with the highest salary,
regardless of their position have one thing in common, they are the fastest over
0-5m.
At an average sprinting distance of about 17m and a game-relevant total distance
of 400-1200m those are about 24 to 70 sprints per game. Assuming a uniform
load density, it is a load of 2-3 seconds followed by a 1:20-4:00 minute break. I
sprints are repeated with minimal rest its more than 3 in a row before the ball is
out of sight.
So what is critical for a game in this case in terms of physical qualities?
Endurance or Conditioning?
Critical are those 24 to 70 sprints in under 90 minutes game time and their
repetition with minimal fatigue, not endurance. Endurance isnt relevant in
soccer because of the short bursts of sprints they do.
To run 10-60 minutes at once has very poor correlation with the ability to repeat
24 to 70 sprints in 90 minutes with minimal fatigue.
100m Sprinter and YPSI Athlete Sven Knipphals is the second fastest
German this year and placed 4th in the 100m relay at the Track & Field
World Championship in Beijing this year. He needs the conditioning to
sustain his performance in a multi-race event and he needs speedendurance to maintain his topspeed from 60m till the finish line
2 forms of Endurance
This is a program written by the legendary short track speed skating Coach Yves
Nadeau, whose athletes won 204 medals at World Championchips and the
Olympic Games since 1983.
Sample training program for Conditioning in Soccer
This is a modified strongman medley used to condition a soccer player
A1 Forward Sleddrag, 20m, 5s rest
A2 Prowler Push, High Handle, elbows extended, 20m, 5s rest
A3 Sprint, 20m, 120s rest
Repeat 4-10 times depending on the current Conditioning Level of the Athletes
This is a solution for a player or a team whose physically limiting factor is fatigue
in the latter part of the game.
The ability to repeat multiple blocks of three 20m efforts with minimal rest has
clearly a higher correlation to soccer-specific performance than 10-60min
straight jogging. To train the sprinting power, speed and conditioning at the same
time a combination of strength- and condititoning training in the weightroom
can also be utilized. To see how it looks in detail, here is an example of a squat
training program for conditioning in Ju Jitsu.
Sample training program for Conditioning in Ju Jitsu
12 sets of 4 reps of BB Back Squats with a 30X0 tempo and 60s rest.
From workout to workout increase the average- and maximal weight used.
Thats a solution for a fighter whose physical limiting factor is fatiguing from
effort to effort. The higher intensity and resistance on the squats allow for
training conditioning and power of a single action at the same time.
This is the program Ive used for preparation of YPSI Athlete Romy Korn for the
Ju Jitsu World Championship 2014 in Paris where she became World Champion
