Football strength

Football strength is a training regime, considered the most complex physical quality to be developed by an athlete.

[6] By varying the repetitions and speed of execution, the exercises can either be explosive (high intensity), allow the athlete to develop muscular endurance, or fall somewhere in between, all predicated on what the football player is trying to improve.

Developing physical abilities specific to running, cutting, and jumping technique will have profound results in football-related strength and game performance.

[13] Specialized strength exercises are designed and selected so that their movements and actions most closely match those required for the execution of the sport's specific skills.

In the process, balance and stability are developed because the entire body participates in every exercise, especially when relatively heavy weights are used.

Medicine balls are used in many different exercises to develop muscular strength and endurance, total body power, and flexibility, but their greatest value lies in explosive midsection and arm training.

[18] The sudden forces experienced upon catching a weighted ball also imitate what occurs during play in football when contact is made with another player.

Rubber tubing (as opposed to dumbbells, barbells, or exercise machines) allows the athlete to duplicate movement patterns seen in the execution of football skills.

[19] With rubber tubing, the athlete can create resistance in any and all directions so that replication of the sports skill movement pattern is possible.

The rubber tubing must have specific tensions and accessories so it can be attached to different parts of the body, as well as to different objects on the field, in the gym or at home.
