Generally, we find that there are 4 main aspects in any good physical preparation program for soccer that will allow you to work on different physical concepts:
- GPP: General physical preparation
- SPP: Specific physical preparation
- The MAS (Maximum Aerobic Speed)
- The MAP (Maximum Aerobic Power)
There is a key element to keep in mind when talking about physical exercises in soccer: the closer you get to the start of the season, the more the volume should decrease and the intensity should increase gradually. If you apply this advice, it should allow you to gradually increase the load and avoid the most common injuries in soccer.
