In the last two blogs, we explained how to determine the optimal weekly training load for a team, and how to distribute this load over the week. For most teams, the weekly load for high accelerations will already be close to the optimal training-to-match ratio. In contrast, the weekly sprint load will (in most cases) be lower than the recommended weekly load. Since sprinting load should be increased for most teams, it is essential to know which exercises should be performed to reach this goal. Therefore, in this blog, we provide guidelines on how to safely increase the sprints for a team over the weeks. Furthermore, we will provide more detailed information about the workload of different exercise formats.
