If it's a matter of fitness then I think this will be a period of high intensity work defending the attacking danger (shadowing, sprinting and shepherding), followed by a period of recovery as players jog out from the back after having cleared the ball.

normally you have 3 lines of recovery. Near post,far post and middle of goal recovery runs. Players need to make recovery runs towards those areas when going backwards.

Its a simplified way of saying make recovery runs that will lead to compactness in defence.
