For example, using your weight to push someone away from the ball or even to take a strong shot, strength is needed in both legs and arms. Speed – This is the ability to move all or part of the body as quickly as possibly. We use anaerobic energy to supply our muscles for fast bursts.

Stamina/endurance – This is the ability to work for long periods of time without becoming fatigued. This is vital in football, as a game of football last 90minutes, there is a break, however a player, plays football for at least 45minutes without taking a break, if the stamina is not good, then the player would get fatigued during the match, which could result in a loss. Suppleness/flexibility – This is the ability to move our joints through their full range of movement. Flexibility is vital to stay healthy and avoid injury. This is also needed in football, as a striker and a goalkeeper, they need to get to other places very quickly, they need to react very quickly, for example, the striker needs to act quickly if the ball is played into him and the keeper needs to be aware of the strikers, if they shoot he would need to dive and save the ball from going into the back of the net.
Body Composition – This is what our body is made up of, the percentage of fat in the body. This needs to be kept at a minimal for footballers, as the player would have to carry more excess weight, which would lead to him getting fatigued very quickly.
