Q: Different defensive positions require different conditioning to respond well to the demands that will be placed on their bodies during the game. If you are a center back, focus on strength and stability. If you are an outside back, do speed and mobility drills to compete with wingers.  During the off season, schedule 2 or 3 strength days, along with 2 or 3 cardio days. You can also add a day that focuses on speed and power, by incorporating high-intensity interval training. In season, reduce the volume of your training to reflect the time you're spending on the field. For example, if your workouts were 2 hours long in the off-season, reduce them to 1 hour in season. You may only want 1 or 2 strength days in season. Distance running improves your cardiovascular endurance, which is necessary if you're spending 90 minutes on the pitch in any given game. But you also need to be able to come up with short bursts of speed to keep up with fast forwards, midfielders, and wingers. Running in intervals is a good way to mimic the way you run during a soccer game. For example, you might jog for 10 minutes, then sprint for 2 minutes, then walk for 3 minutes. Repeat the interval until you've run for an hour. Working your core isn't just about having a six-pack like your favorite professional soccer player. A strong core improves your balance and makes it tougher for attacking players to push past you and make a break for the goal.  Make planks a regular part of your exercise regimen. Start by holding the plank position for 30 seconds to a minute. Every few days, add a minute, working up to a 5-minute duration. Look for other core exercises that isolate various abdominal muscles. Make sure you're exercising all abdominal muscles evenly. Practices such as yoga and pilates can also help strengthen your core and improve your balance and flexibility. Plyometric exercises build fast-twitch muscle fibers in your body to give you explosive power to boost the sudden bursts of speed you need when chasing after a fast forward or midfielder. Explosive push-ups are a good plyometric exercise for defenders. Start in a regular push-up position and lower your chest to the floor. Push yourself up forcefully so that your hands leave the floor, then come back down softly, bending your elbows to help absorb the impact. Do 4 sets of 5 to 10 reps, resting for 2 minutes between sets.
A: Adapt your training to your position. Combine distance running with sprints. Strengthen your core to improve your balance. Use plyometrics to build power and strength.
