Physiology of a Soccer Player

I think you’re going to see some physiological variances based on the strategy of the club/league/country. The American game, unfortunately, is about being fitter than other teams.

You see this beginning in the youth leagues all the way to the national team, our players are trained to run forever to offset a lack of skills. Americans spend their youth playing games and tournaments rather than developing skills and speed and due to this our players are going to exhibit extremely high aerobic attributes.

thanks for the comment mate. Few questions, do you really think there is a huge physiological difference in players from different leagues, the standard of play for sure but physically? i understand there will be slight differences but not too big i wouldnt of imagined. I think there would be more of a difference between positions.
