Training Program

I am doing my personal exercise programme to hopefully increase the level of my muscular endurance and cardio-vascular fitness. I would also intentionally improve my overall agility which is suitable for the position I play in football. I expect to improve my upper body strength from all of the sessions, allowing me to increase my efficiency in playing football by becoming stronger. My current level of health: I do not suffer from persistent illnesses like asthma, and I rarely sercombe any injuries, at this moment in time I don't maintain any that will affect me when doing my training. This means I will be able to recieve an accurate set of results.

Fitness aspect

I need good aerobic capacity as a netball match can last a long period of time. Therefore my heart and lung system need to have the ability to cope with an activity of long duration. I will improve my aerobic capacity by seeing how long it takes me; to do 100 skips, to run 10 laps round the gym and to do 50 step-ups. I need to have good muscular endurance as netball matches involve muscles working hard for a long period of time. Therefore my muscles need to have the ability to work hard for a large amount of time. I will improve my muscular endurance by training with weights (3kgs) doing 2 sets of 15 reps. I will also complete as many sit-ups possible within a time limit of 30 seconds.
