Cardio conditioning for a football player
Improving your speed in the 40-yard dash can be accomplished in a couple of different ways. The average play lasts somewhere between 5 and10 seconds, so during the off season you want to train the right energy system. However, a word of caution is warranted here – if you get exhausted to the point where you are vomiting, your body’s natural defense mechanism has kicked in and is telling you that you are training the wrong system. Many young athletes assume that when this happens that it’s a sign of a good workout. Wrong; you may have gotten a workout but not from the right energy system. In some of my past articles, I spoke about the Adenosine Triphosphate and Phosphocreatine( ATP/PC) system. This is the system that you want to train. This system will allow you to perform at a 100 percent intensity level for at least 10 seconds and it is a no-oxygen or anaerobic system. This is the main system that is used during an actual football game.
Many of today’s athletes have the ability to optimize there natural athletic ability but are just not training the right systems.
