Alternate periods of fast running (30-60 seconds) with periods of active recovery (1-2 minutes at a slow pace). This method reproduces the demands of a match and improves both aerobic and anaerobic endurance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"force-et-conditionnement-bien-preparer-son-corps\"><strong>Strength and conditioning: Preparing your body properly&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as endurance, a footballer's physical condition also relies on muscular strength and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These qualities make it possible to absorb impact, perform explosive movements and reduce the risk of injury.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"exercices-pour-le-bas-du-corps\"><strong>Lower body exercises&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strengthening the legs is a priority for all football players.
