8 Reasons Why Commonly used Fitness and
Conditioning Methods Like Running Long Distances,
Swimming and Cycling DO NOT Enhance Football
Performance
Problems with traditional Methods to develop endurance:
1. Can increase over-use injuries
2. Decreases flexibility
3. Decrease speed
4. Decrease power
5. Develop non specific fitness non transferable fitness
6. Is not Sport Specific
7. Do not develop other specific skills
8. Shift the strength and power curve continuum making athletes slower if not
performed at higher intensities.

The Exact Work Rest Ratios to Develop Each Specific
Energy System
Basic Guidelines for Work Rest Ratios to develop each
specific energy system are listed here:
t 8PSL3FTUPG-BDUJDBDJE"OBFSPCJDFOFSHZTZTUFNUSBJOJOHFGGFDUT
t 8PSL3FTUPGPS"MBDUJDBOBFSPCJDFOFSHZTZTUFNUSBJOJOHFGGFDUT

t 8PSLSFTUSBUJPTPGNJYFEOBUVSFFH
HFOFSBUFNJYFEFGGFDUT
(Aerobic and Lactic system training effects).
How to implement drills to develop the various energy systems is largely determined by the amount
of work the player performs in comparison to the amount of rest they receive throughout the duration
of the drill.
For example when the players are performing in close ball work in pairs, usually 1 player will be
training (working) whilst the other player is largely stationary (resting). This type of training would
develop the aerobic system as the player is working for a period of 1 and resting for 1. Therefore a 1:1
Work Rest Ratio is evident.
4 Remarkable Ways to Manipulate Games Based Drills For
Extraordinary Results
Space ConstraintsMBSHFTQBDFTNPSFUJNFBOEBMTPNPSFEJTUBODFGPSåUOFTTSFEVDFETQBDF
results in increased speed and acceleration requirements and also less time to execute skills)
Time (Drill Duration/Length) Time Constraints (can modify drills as there may be smaller fields/
space/areas which result in time constraints when performing the drills i.e. there will be reduced time
to make decisions due to the increased pressure applied in the drills). The coach can lengthen the
drill for an extended time period e.g. from 5-10mins)
Rule Modifications (e.g. No bouncing the football in the 5 vs. 5 handball game, the player can only
kick in the keepings off kicking drill, the players can only handball back and to the side in the centre
square transition drill and marking/ruck contest scrimmage drill)
Participant Constraints (number of players i.e.Attackers, defenders can be even or odd for coaching
purposes, the coach can have an interchange or rotations for coaching purposes and to make
players concentrate and be aware of changes occurring).

6 Important Factors to Think About When Planning and
Periodising Your Games Based Fitness Sessions
Duration:
Time/Duration or length of time for the training and conditioning drills. For example 20 mins of skills
work and conditioning.
Length:
Length of the field or distance for skill components in the drill. For example 20m kicks vs. 50m kicks
Intensity:
The speed of execution of skill drills and or pressure involved, the speed of conditioning work or
percentage heart rate or the load lifted on a bar.
Frequency:
The number of training days the skills, conditioning or strength training is performed.
May also refer to the frequency or number of times the athlete performs the skill, e.g. 25 kicks each
session.
Type:
Is the type of training undertaken. For example, skills, strength, speed, agility, strength, flexibility,
fitness and conditioning.
Mode: the modality used to develop the specific physical quality;
Refers to the specific type of training, for example conditioning may be running, pool work, cycling,
boxing, they are all forms of conditioning but are different in relation to muscle used, joint angles
and body positions as well as loads on the body. Cycling is non impact where as running is high
impact.
Volume/Load:
Duration x Frequency x Intensity

Why ONLY Playing and Training Football Increases Your Risk
of Injury and Limits Your Chances of Playing Professional AFL
In the How to Physically Prepare Australian Rules Footballers Presentation, I discuss the benefits of
having footballers play other sports. As it allows the athletes to develop other transferable skills,
enhance hand eye co-ordination and ensure athlete do not develop over-use injuries as well as
help alleviate boredom. Almost every single junior footballer that I have coached that has been
drafted has played other sports and never trained for football year round. Sports that help develop
transferable skills that are of benefit to Australian Rules Footballers are listed below:
Basketball (Clean hands, vision, awareness, speed, acceleration, deceleration, leg power)
Soccer (kicking skills, agility skills, repeat sprint ability)
Gaelic Football (kicking skills, aerobic and anaerobic endurance)
European Handball (hand skills, vision, aerobic and anaerobic abilities)
Touch Football (Agility, speed, evasion, vision, endurance, repeat sprint ability)
Squash (Agility, speed, acceleration, deceleration, hand eye co-ordination)
Mixed Martial Arts (Explosive power, conditioning)
Wrestling (tackling, conditioning, strength, confidence)
Rock Climbing (grip, fingers, legs, back and all over strength)
Gymnastics (balance, flexibility, strength, stability, control, power)
I implement a lot of these sports during the early pre-season as a substitute for traditional
conditioning methods.

The Alternative Training Methods To Develop Better, Fitter,
Faster, Stronger Bullet Proof Footballers
So what other methods do we use to condition and develop other skills for AFL Footballers?
Other methods for developing football specific fitness or other skills that will transfer onto the footy
field
Strongman Training
Involves lifting and moving odd shaped objects of irregular weight and size (barrels, logs, tires, kegs,
farmers walk apparatus, sleds, yokes etc)
Is a modified circuit method
More of a strength-endurance session ~ however can have high Lactic Acid and aerobic effects,
depending upon training variable manipulation
Not really suitable to a lot of athletes in regards their Energy System conditioning requirements
Inexact nature of overload (not precise increments in weight like with barbell, dumbbell, machine
training) ~ how do you precisely increment the difficulty of training for athletes of different sizes?
Need all sorts of “odd” equipment and lots of space
May be a useful “variety” stimulus for some athletes
May be useful combined with traditional interval training for athletes who require a-cyclical
strength-endurance and energy system fitness – AFL Players, martial artists, rugby union/league etc
Wrestling/grappling/mixed martial arts/boxing etc
Gained popularity due to renowned endurance and energy system fitness of athletes in these
sports (& other combat sports such as kick-boxing, judo, mixed-martial arts etc).
Basically are just a different mode of exercise, both still rely upon interval training methodologies
etc
However both stimulate aerobic and anaerobic adaptations in the upper body ~ typically athletes
tend to rely upon lower body modes such as running & cycling for energy system conditioning etc
and/or can’t swim well enough to derive much conditioning effects from swimming.
The Skills and Games Based Fitness Training & Conditioning Secrets1VL`/H`LZc13
Wrestling
Must design appropriate session suitable to the Energy System conditioning requirements/needs of
athletes (i.e. session could be a very general or specific in its intended effects)
However can offer a variety stimulus to training ~ some training sessions that are general in nature
still provide a benefit to the athlete
Can provide intense energy system conditioning for athletes who may have an injury precluding
them from running/cycling etc
Can be “fun”
Safety can be an issue ~ need proper tuition and equipment.

Key Coaching Points for Individualisation of Skill and
Games Based Fitness Drills:
You must determine the extent to which your players need to train for power or endurance
This will vary depending upon the players’ position and strengths or weaknesses in their Energy
System fitness make-up.
Commonly Asked Questions:
What do I do with athletes that don’t work HARD in the game and match based fitness drills?
We combine game based drills and specific fitness and conditioning drills for them to perform prior
to the games based fitness work they do.
That way they are already pre-fatigued going into the games based fitness drill and will gain some
benefits from the games based drills.
Are there any problems with games based fitness and conditioning drills?
Skill and Games Based Fitness relies upon athletes intent to work hard.
If players’ intent to work hard is not high and the game is not well constructed, then lower HR’s as
compared to traditional conditioning training
Games must be well constructed and monitored to get good effect - most games conditioning
occurs at lower HR levels.
18cThe Skills and Games Based Fitness Training & Conditioning Secrets1VL`/H`LZ
The solution and best approach:
Best approach may be to combine games conditioning and traditional conditioning.
However during actual sports competition HR responses are much higher than training based
games conditioning ~ therefore traditional conditioning may be used also to induce greater HR
and conditioning effects before skill training.
Field and court sports have irregular movement and activity patterns unlike “steady state” sports
(running, swimming, cycling, triathlon etc).
What endurance running should you do? I’d prefer to focus on speed or areas that playing the
game won’t actually develop
Does this mean I don’t or won’t do any running with the players I coach?
I do some specific individualised running that is calculated by the athletes’ maximal aerobic speed
which I take from a 3km time trial.
I use this information to construct an individualised running program that is performed 1-3 days per
week, depending on the athletes’ specific requirements.
The running is supramaximal or above their maximal speed, which has been shown to improve
aerobic fitness in trained elite athletes.
Putting It Altogether
The manual has showcased many drills and techniques that can be used to enhance your
players, fitness/endurance, speed, agility, foot, hand marking and tackling skills, as well as vision
and decision making under pressure in a game specific and replicable manner that will transfer
onto the field. The manual has outlined how to manipulate drills for maximal benefit and training
effect, as well as showcasing alternative methods to develop sport specific fitness that enhance
performance and reduce injury. The manual has outlined the appropriate methods of periodisation
and progression to ensure your players stay healthy and injury free and peak when it matters most.
All the best!
