You can’t win a football match without technique and tactics. After all, physical fitness plays a key role. Athletic and fitness training is part and parcel of national football teams and professional clubs. There is often a lack of understanding when it comes to how important athleticism is in football.

Football is a complex sport with a wide range of requirements. Football-specific athletics training should therefore cover multiple areas. With targeted mobilisation, you can prepare your joints and muscles for the training session. The strengthening part focusses on functional movement patterns. Include all of your muscle groups. Don’t forget the core muscles. Your core is at the heart of every movement. Non-stable core = no power.

3 repetitions, rest for 30 to 60 seconds

Carry out three repetitions per exercise during strength and stability training for football. Keep the rest period to 30-60 seconds.

2-3 times a week

Integrate your athletics workout for footballers 2-3 times a week into your other sports activities.

01 Mobilisation
02 Strengthening
03 Core stability

01 Mobilisation

The first part of an athletics workout for footballers involves mobilisation. Using so-called movement preps, you can optimally prepare your body for the upcoming strength workout. We particularly want to stretch the front side of the body. This is often tense among footballers due to high strain.

02 Strengthening

Strength training is an important part of athletics training for footballers. The main focus for footballers is the leg muscles. You should also work on your upper body. This will help to increase your power and speed. Take around 30-60 seconds’ rest in between exercises.

03 Core stabilisation

Strictly speaking, stability training is also part of strengthening. However, core stabilisation is so important that it has earned a separate category. We’ve put together a selection of stabilisation exercises for footballers in the following. Take around 30-60 seconds’ rest in between exercises.
