A midfielder for soccer needs to have high Cardio Respiratory Endurance, Muscular Endurance, Agility and Speed, in order to play out a full game and play to the best of their ability. Health related components of fitness are components that improve day-to-day life and reduce injury. Cardio Respiratory Endurance is the bodies’ ability to work continuously for an extended period of time at submaximal level for example marathon running. This would be important in a game of soccer, as the midfield player needs to be able to play out the duration of the game without getting fatigued and without decreasing performance having a high percentage of type 1A muscle fibers would greatly benefit someone who wanted to improve their cardio respiratory endurance.

Type 2A Fast twitch muscle fibers allow for fast movements and high amounts of force production, they don’t require oxygen which means that they store high amount of glycogen in the muscles which can be accessed easily making the energy ready for instant use and produce rapid movements due to large motor neuron size, but because of this they have a low resistance to fatigue and intermediate capillary density making for a slow recovery rate type 2A muscle fibers are used for long term anaerobic sports, as they primary use the lactic acid energy system. This means that they are able to work up to about 90seconds that for a midfielder in soccer is important as it means they are able to tackle and keep the pressure on or sprint with the ball and still keep running. Type 2A muscle fibers benefit the player’s agility as it allows them to have explosive energy and quick motion that can be sustained for a short period of time. If a midfielder was to have a high percentage of slow twitch muscle fibers this would still help in a game as it means they are able to perform for a longer period of time but with agility the action needs to be with speed and power which slow twitch muscle fibers don’t really allow for, the opposite would be if they have a high percentage of type 2B fast twitch muscle fibers this means that they would be able to have …show more content…
ATP is energy and energy is produced when the last phosphate bond in an ATP molecule is broken, making ADP, which is then reused in the body to make more ATP, ATP is a product of the break down of the food the body processes. All three energy systems use ATP but some used stored ATP and the other breaks it down as it goes along. The ATP-CP system doesn’t require oxygen; it uses stored ATP glucose to produce energy there and then instantly but this only last up to about 10seconds. The Lactic acid system doesn’t require oxygen and also uses stored ATP, which means it is effective immediately, this system can last up to about 90seconds but this means that a waste product is produced in the form of lactic acid which builds up in the muscle as it cannot be removed as fast as the body is producing it. The aerobic energy system does require oxygen as it doesn’t use stored ATP but produce’s it as the body needs it during the exercise because of this the system can sustained for as long as the body needs to as long as it has energy. During a soccer match the players will use all three energy systems at varies stages of the match. The intensity and duration of the exercise determines which energy system is dominant. Throughout the match when players need to do short sprints for example a quick tackle or a short sprint into space the dominant energy system used is the ATP-CP system as they
