Personal exercise program

For my G.C.S.E Physical Education coursework project I have been asked to design a six-week training program for myself and perform this program recording the results of the program. One of the requirements of the program is that it should be specified to one particular sport, I have picked football to focus mine on. I play football for my school and for a local team going by the name of St. Margaret's Under 16's.

Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise

The aim of my programme is to improve my stamina and speed and I will do this by doing aerobic training. Our aerobic system provides us with long-term energy. We use it in most daily activities and it gives us energy, which is slowly released. This is released over a long period of time and a lot more slowly than the creatine phosphate system or the lactic acid system. This is used in most sports as it gives us almost limitless energy for long periods of time, however if we do really hard work then we will use our anaerobic system.
