About this plan

Program Type: Endurance Training

Length: 6 weeks

Frequency: 4 days per week


Structured for 4 days per week, this program works seamlessly alongside in-season training and matches, allowing players to improve endurance without compromising on-field performance.


About the Plan

Building Hockey Endurance is a 6-week program designed to enhance the fitness and stamina of field hockey players across all positions. The plan focuses on developing both aerobic and anaerobic capacity, enabling athletes to maintain high intensity, speed, and power throughout matches.


Through interval conditioning, sport-specific drills, and functional movement exercises, players improve their ability to sustain repeated sprints, recover quickly, and maintain agility and strength across the pitch. Core and lower-body stability are emphasized to support efficient movement and reduce fatigue-related injury risk.


By the end of the program, athletes will feel fitter, faster, and more resilient — capable of sustaining peak performance from the first whistle to the final minute of the match.
