I’m John F. Eilermann Jr. and I love soccer. I’ve played it before when I was younger and I know just how hard it can be for people who are in no condition to run great distances at high speeds. Because of this, I’ve checked out a few new-age exercises on how to increase one’s cardiovascular and respiratory capacity for more endurance on the pitch. Let’s check them out. HIIT High intensity interval training or HIIT is a more recent style of training that has been adopted in new-age gyms everywhere. Athletes of every sport have been doing HIIT to supplement their drills to much success. HIIT includes exercises such as burpees and mountain climbers, which do wonders for soccer players.

Swimming Since soccer is hard on the joints of the legs, swimming may be a good complementary workout to increase endurance. Swimming is low-impact, which means your joints are safe. Swimming also increases your lung capacity as well as makes for better blood circulation, both of which are invaluable for soccer players.

Run-Sprints Performing moderate running and high-speed sprinting at intervals is a great way to condition yourself for soccer. When playing a full game, there will be times you’ll need to go at full sprint and times you’ll simply be walking. Simulate this in an open area. For every 30 seconds of moderate running and brisk walking, do a full sprint of eight to 10 seconds.
