Fitness Training Guidelines:
Fitness - Training Guidelines.
Follow these simple Training Guidelines to improve your fitness and remain free from injury.
1.Don’t work too hard too soon. Improvements in fitness take time. If you rush your progression you may injure yourself. The primary objective is that you stay injury free, so don’t overtrain.
2.Try to vary your training so you alternate hard and easy days.
3.All sessions should start and finish with a warm up/down followed by stretching.
4.Always train within your training zone (i.e. 70% - 90% of maximum heart rate).
5.Do not train if you are ill.
6.If you are injured try and substitute training for activities such as cycling or swimming to help you maintain your
fitness.
7.Invest in decent clothing and footwear. It is important to wear good shoes especially when training on hard
surfaces.
8.Don’t jog in fog!
9.If you go jogging in the dark always wear light coloured clothing so you can be seen easily. Better still, wear a reflective jacket.
10.Don’t eat, drink caffeine or use tobacco products within 2 hours of a game or training session.
11.Regularly consume water before, during and after training and matches.
