Abstract
We analyzed veteran professional soccer players’ training to improve physical problems associated with aging. At the end of the season, the players achieved some improvement in injury frequency, fatigue recovery, decreased top speed ; however, they could not completely improve their decrease in keep running at high speed. We considered how professional soccer players could tackle physical problems in order to play as active players for a long time and proposed the following: 1)Changes in dietary content through dietary guidance can be expected to be effective in a short period of time, and this is a more important approach for experienced athletes than for young athletes. 2)In order to increase the ability to recover from fatigue, it is effective to set a target weight based on weight data accumulated from a young age and increase lean body mass using body weight as an indicator. 3)In order for veteran athletes to improve their running speed, it is possible to improve by subjective sensation analysis, but in order to improve further, it is necessary to improve running form from a long-term perspective from a young age.
