A strength and conditioning coach decides that aerobic endurance
training is essential for his American football team to improve
on-the-field performance. The head coach believes that his team
should train only with weights because “they’re always so tired and
weak in the fourth quarter of games.” What type of sport is
American football primarily—anaerobic or aerobic? Is aerobic
endurance training important to American football players? What
role does maximal oxygen uptake play in American football? Is its
role the same for all positions on the team?
