What's the Best Ways to Build Endurance to Run out a Full Game of Footy‪?‬ The Women's Footy Podcast: Fitness Tips for the Female Footballer

 

In this episode of The Women's Footy Podcast,  Jacob delves into the topic of building endurance, highlighting swimming as his top recommendation based on his personal experience. Jacob emphasizes the importance of swimming for cardiovascular health and shares a personal anecdote about incorporating swimming into his own training routine.

 

Jacob gradually increased his swimming routine over a three-month period, starting with four laps and progressing to ten laps with breaks in between. He noticed improvements in his aerobic endurance, as evidenced by his performance on the beep test, where he achieved a significant increase in his score. This improvement coincided with an article he read about the benefits of swim training for runners, which explained how swimming compresses the body in water, aiding in endurance building.
