Table 1. Overview of the sprinting work carried out by professional soccer players over various distances:
The highest number of sprints occur within 10 yds, meaning the majority of sprinting inSoccer is dependent on the anaerobic system.
Energy Fitness: Anaerobic

Endurance: The maximal oxygen uptake of elite soccer player ranges between 55-70 ml kg-1min-1, a value which is higher than that of general population, but lower than that of elite endurance runners.
Energy Fitness: Aerobic
•Flexibility in soccer players may not make a huge difference in field performance however; it will directly affect their chance of injury.
•90% of the players received a muscle strain injury during the competitive season. Most occurring in knee and hip flexors. There was a very strong relationship found between preseason ROM and incidence of muscle strain injury.
•Players who had injuries during the season had a preseason ROM approximately 3 degrees less than that of uninjured players.
Muscular Fitness
