Description

This unit focuses on high performance training for football. The unit combines the latest science and research with training protocols to optimise the effectiveness of training. Maintaining peak conditioning throughout the season and design energy football specific performance programs. The unit also explores translating strength to speed and increase aerobic capacity and generate anaerobic power for football players.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Discuss high performance training for football players.
  2. Create advanced movement efficiency techniques to produce robust football players.
  3. Apply different methods of practical application to deliver high performance programs to coaching staff and players.
  4. Use advanced skills and techniques to transfer appraisal tools to successfully translate strength into speed, optimising training for jumping and landing, increasing agility and generating anaerobic power into football teams.

Unit Content

  1. Building robust players, and evaluating players capacities.
  2. Developing younger players, enhancing movement efficiency, stabilising and strengthening the core.
  3. Optimising flexibility, monitoring the training response and retraining the injured players.
  4. Developing players capacity, customizing the warm-up and cool-down.
  5. Successfully translating strength into speed, optimising training for jumping and landing.
  6. Planning and delivering performance including designing energy-specific programs, and minimising the Interference effect.
  7. Optimising pre-season training, and maintaining an in-season conditioning edge and recovering effectively.

Additional Learning Experience Information

Lectures, seminars and performance laboratories.
