The basic example for this is the quick transition from slow jogging to sprinting in a period of time. Lastly, squats and lunges are important to build and tone the muscles in the thighs and legs which is necessary to be effective in kicking the ball around the field.
2. How long should these activities last?
-Running could last up to 60 minutes daily. The important thing is to pace yourself slowly at first and then gradually building up your speed so that your body can get accustomed to it.
Interval exercises can last up to 30 minutes. For example 30 seconds of slow jogging then 15 seconds of sprinting then rest for 30 seconds. Resume this cycle for 30 minutes.
Squats and Lunges are usually done at the end of the training at cool down in order for your leg muscles to relax and prevent sprains and painful stretches. Do each exercise observing proper form and posture for at least 1 minute each.
