Effectiveness of Exercise as a Football Player

 

Exercises plays a vital role in our life and again in our everyday living, health practitioners always advice us to always do all sort of exercise to help us live healthy and longevity such as jogging, running, jumping, swimming, and playing some other games which also good for our lifestyle.
 
As a football player one needs to always to exercise in other to avoid inner injuries like stretching before and after the hard training etc. Most times, many footballer players want to be the fitted player, want to be the best player in the field and to be complete player but what they to know is that too much of everything is not good. As I said in my previous articles, that football players should work more on their mental to be more creativity in the game and more of the fitness like ball work, footwork and work very less on building physical/body poster. As a football player you need to be flexible with the ball in other to switch left and right as quickly as possible for sharp turning.




Some months ago, I was invited to play a competition, so during our training I pair with our mid-fielder a huge supporting mid-fielder, I ask myself how will such player with the kind of body posture make use of the ball perfectly, is obvious this very guy is weight-lifting which shouldn’t be much as a football player since he can’t lift himself comfortably even though he seems he can play football, I saw my coach after the training telling him to stop or reduce weight lifting but should be doing all kind of other exercises to give him some minimum balance to help him use the ball, sharp turning and able to lift his body at ease. And am the kind of player who is tall and slim as a defensive midfielder with long legs telling myself before now that I need to get to the gym to build my body posture but not like this.
 
So I decide to write this article on exercise that football players should do and not do which go a long way for us in the game when playing most especially upcoming footballers that don’t know the right training and technique needed for the best overall fitness. I will be listing a few of them that are regularly done which can help
 
Football/soccer exercise to do for best fitness
1.       Jogging: This is exercise is very good for players and also regular person who don’t play football, one need to go for 5-10 laps or above depending on your condition, if you are the type that like to use timing, you can jog for 20 mins- 30 mins, or 45 mins. It helps your over all stability, it awakening your body, muscles and better
2.      Running and Shuttle run: This kind of exercise is one of the best every footballers should always do. It gives balance and speed, strength and energy and so much more
3.      Jumping: This is exercise is helpful for better balance, most strikers and defenders always need this when jumping to aim the ball on the air for better jump power. Things you can jump with such as tires, cones
4.      Push-ups and Sit-ups: This is another exercise that is needed for our body fitness which works specifically on stomach, side, hands, shoulders and thighs and much more for overall fitness. It increase lasting strength and endurance
5.      Gym: This is very good if you find a complete set of gym to make use of and getting a training coach to support or to know the right kind of exercise to do by yourself. You do an appropriate exercise to give a better body balance in order to avoid poor body posture as a footballer 
6.      Ball Jogging: This is important for our footwork or ball works, especially when making use of cones, jogging with the ball around the cones, moving left and right, going front and back and also playing with ball round your body. It is better to spend much time with the ball than off the ball. All this few mention above goes a long way to keep you fit all time, there are more you will find on the internet to help you and get which one works for you 
iii
In In conclusion, Regular exercise and minimal weight lifting is very good which improves your fitness in the long run. But at the same time you need to rest and sleep because these are also part of what can keep you fit unknowingly. stay fit stay healthy

Over the years, I have been playing different role in the field, I can tell you from my personal experience that all position are neither easy nor difficult depending on how good the players are and playing in their various position.
