Marcello Iaia, Ermanno Rampinini, and Jens Bangsbo This article reviews the major physiological and performance effects of aerobic high-intensity and speed-endurance training in football, and provides insight on implemen-tation of individual game-related physical training. Analysis and physiological mea-surements have revealed that modern football is highly energetically demanding, and the ability to perform repeated high-intensity work is of importance for the players. Furthermore, the most successful teams perform more high-intensity activities during a game when in possession of the ball. Hence, footballers need a high tness level to cope with the physical demands of the game. Studies on football players have shown that 8 to 12 wk of aerobic high-intensity running training (>85% HRmax) leads to 2max enhancement (5% to 11% increased running economy (3% to 7% and lower blood lactate accumulation during submaximal exercise, as well as improve-ments in the yo-yo intermittent recovery ( YYIR) test performance (13%). Similar adaptations are observed when performing aerobic high-intensity training with small-sided games. Speed-endurance training has a positive effect on football-specic endurance, as shown by the marked improvements in the YYIR test (22% to 28%) and the ability to perform repeated sprints (~2%). In conclusion, both aerobic and speed-endurance training can be used during the season to improve high-intensity intermit-tent exercise performance. The type and amount of training should be game related and specic to the technical, tactical, and physical demands imposed on each player.
