Unique Fitness Rrequirements For Goalkeepers
however once the base level of fitness has been achieved any type of aerobic/endurance type training should be used very sparingly. A short burst of high intensity activity is what a goalkeeper experiences most frequently in a game therefore this is what we must train for. The emphasis must be on performing quality movements with technical proficiency – NOT quantity of movement to exhaustion. After a period of high intensity activity a sound level of base training will aid in how quickly a goalkeeper can recover and perform again.
To end, I am not advocating that a goalkeeper does not need to train with the rest of the team but they must be given time within a training session to concentrate on the specifics they need to excel at their position
