i have been set a task to come up with a 6 week training programme?
i have been set a task to come up with a 6 week training program for a netball player, with the main aim to increase their endurance levels. i have planned for 3 sessions per week resulting in 18 sessions all together and i was wondering what sort of drills are appropriate to use so that there is a noticeable increase in endurance levels without having to make the player just literally run around for 40 mins a session. please help??
Fartleck training is great to increase endurance in stop start sports like netball.
-
Warm up with a steady jog for 10 minutes
-
Jog for 60 seconds
-
Run hard (3/4 pace) for 90 seconds
-
Jog for 45 seconds
-
Sprint for 10 seconds
-
Jog for 30 seconds
-
Run backwards for 30 seconds
-
Walk for 30 seconds
-
Run hard for 60 seconds
-
Repeat 3-4 times
-
Cool down at a steady pace for 10 minutes
You could also try sessions at different locations doing:
-
Circuit training (weight or strength stations interspersed with)
-
Hills runs
-
Stair runs
-
Lunges over a distance
I hope this helps!
