How 3 Types of Physical Fitness Training will Both Improve and Compliment Your Cricket Fitness

To allow your physical fitness sustainability in-season and stop negative outcomes these tips will provide you with some ammunition to make your own informed decisions.

Now that you have transformed your physical fitness training for cricket to be of a more anaerobic nature. This article will give you an insight into how some other fitness energy system training will compliment your current fitness regime if used appropriately.

These methods can also be used to achieve goals and benefits outside of the game of cricket.

A very important factor in everyones life is health (if not it should be) and by achieving results in these other forms of fitness training you will also be improving your own health. Your crickets fitness will also reap the benefits so you will be achieving in more ways than one.

The first type of training I am going to mention is Posture fitness training. This incorporates increasing range of motion,flexibility as well as addressing muscle imbalances.

By completing this type of training succesfully you will be setting solid foundations that will serve you for the rest of your cricketing life. I will go as far as to say it will keep you playing the game longer.

Your chances of injury decrease and your movements become more efficient. Your technique and skills work will also benefit from this training.

Another major fitness focus that will increase not only your fitness for cricket but also your health in general is body fat reduction training.

For cricket you immediately benefit from body fat reduction through increasing reaction times and speed. Not to mention the strain it will be taking off your joints and organs. You will probably be ripping the shirt off a little bit more as well.

The beauty of this type of physical training is that you will be able to achieve your goal by training anaerobically. The same energy system you should be training the most to increase specific cricket fitness.

To achieve a body fat loss result you no longer need to train at certain fat burning intensities for extended periods of time as you are all conditioned to believe. Interval training is scientifically proven to be the best way to reduce body fat levels.

Let's now discuss aerobic fitness training. Aerobic (utilizing oxygen to create energy for muscle contraction)fitness training is important because it initially enables the body to set an aerobic base in which all other fitness work can be built on.

There is no need to run long distances at slow pace to develop this aerobic base.

Longer interval type of training progressed over a period of time will set you a good physical fitness base that will allow recovery from all of your anaerobic work in future weeks and in-season.

Aerobic fitness work can also be used in a manner that allows your body to recover from game or training situations. Even just to give the body a break from the intensity of anaerobic training.

Aerobic training in this way assists in the removal of waste products produced from anaerobic training aiding the recovery process.

By completing a low intensity longer lasting physical session sometimes called an active recovery session sparks up the immune system to speed up the regeneration process.

Cricketers underestimate the importance of this training point and the majority of you would never of heard of this fact. Read Part I of the Aerobic fitness articles to learn more.

In wrapping up this article please remember that your anaerobic system is going to be your dominant fitness training focus. However if you don't factor in other forms of physical fitness training you could be setting yourself up for a range of negative outcomes.

Things such as injury, sickness, lethargy and a lack of motivation. All of these factors will affect your fitness negatively and in turn your cricket performances.

So have an open mind with your fitness work for cricket and take a hollistic approach rather than just a single minded approach.
