Proper training for Softball Off Season Ideas

Our body consists of three main energy systems:

System #1 - the speed system (a.k.a. anaerobic alatic systemor ATP-PC system): this system provides us with energy forany effort lasting less than 10 seconds. It is a very powerful system but it gets completely empty after 10-12 seconds. This is the first energy system to kick-in when we start moving.
System #2 - the speed endurance system (a.k.a. anaerobic lactic system or lactic acid system): this system provides us with energy for any effort lasting between 10 seconds and 2 minutes. This system is fairly powerful and has a bit more endurance than the first system.
It is also the system that produces a lot of lactic acid andgive us that muscle burning sensation when we workout or do some intense effort for more than 10 seconds.
System #3 - the endurance system (a.k.a. aerobic system):this system provides us with energy for any effort lastingmore than 2 minutes. This is system is not very powerful but can last for up to several hours.
In summary, for any effort that is short (less than 10seconds) and very intense, the first energy system will fuel that effort.
If an effort is a little longer but still fairly short(between 10 seconds and 2 minutes) and still intense, thesecond energy system will provide the energy to sustain thateffort.
Finally, if the effort tends to be longer (more than 2minutes) and less intense, the third energy system will take care of it.
As you know, you get better at what you practice. If you hit, you will get better at hitting and if you field balls,you will get better at fielding balls.
The same idea applies to energy system training. If you run for a long time, you are training the third energy system(endurance system) and will improve your ability to run for quite a while. If you do short, intense sprints, you are training the first energy system (speed system) and therefore improving your ability to be explosive and runfast.
Smart coaches train the energy systems that match thedemands of their sport. For example, Triathlon coaches willfocus on training the endurance system while sprint coaches will focus on the speed system.
That just makes sense.In the case of softball, most plays last 5 seconds or less.Therefore, it is the powerful - speed system - that fuelsjust about every action in softball.
As you can see, if someone spends too much time training theaerobic system (third energy system), they are not trainingthe right system for our sport. The endurance system(aerobic system) does not play a big role in softball.
However, there are still benefits for softball players to doing some "cardio" or developing a base of aerobic endurance.
A good base of aerobic endurance will serve as a foundation to develop the speed system much faster.
Here is a list of the other main benefits of doing "cardiotraining" for softball players:
- Control of body fat
- Ability to recover more quickly after an intense effort
- Increased stamina and resistance to fatigue
- Decreased tension and aid in sleeping
- Psychological benefits as exercise improves mood, reduces depression and anxiety
Moreover, it's also true that pitchers and catchers willbenefit from a certain base of aerobic conditioning becausetheir position requires more stamina.
However, overemphasizing aerobic conditioning is detrimental to all softball players; including pitchers and catchers.
Once you reach an acceptable level of aerobic conditioning(i.e. run at average speed for 30 minutes), there is no needto further increase it.
At that point you should mostly maintain your aerobic baseby doing 1-2 aerobic sessions a week (i.e. run for 20-30minutes at an average pace).
More than that will be detrimental to your game. Not only isit a waste of time because it's not useful on the field butit also hinder the development of speed, power, andstrength.
Is that what we want? Definitely not!For sprinters, doing aerobic conditioning is almost a sin.They avoid it because it is detrimental to theirperformance!
On the other side, long distance runners don't waste theirtime doing many sprints because they need to increase theirendurance! Softball players including pitchers and catchersare like sprinters; they need to be quick, explosive and powerful.
So, what I am saying is that a base of aerobic conditioningis beneficial for the reasons mentioned above. However,doing too much of it will be detrimental. Once you havereached a certain level of endurance, you need to focus onbuilding speed, power, and strength. This is what you truly need on the field!
Also, most of your endurance building work should be in theoff-season. In pre-season (2-3 months prior to the beginning of the season), you should mostly focus on building speed and power. During the season, your goal is to maintain yourcurrent fitness level where it is.
Stop running around and start sprinting. You game will thankyou.
So, are you still running around like a fool?
