Anthony Taylor fitness tips and exercises for you in this blog post. The Premier League match official has given some insights in his training sessions on the Premier League website and below I’ll explain them to you

In this blog post you’ll find high-intensity exercise #5. During this month I’ll highlight a new exercises on every #FitnessFriday. In the end I’ll add the links to all related exercises, which give you an opportunity to vary.

I’ve also published an Uefa exercise before and there’s a blog post with 5 benefits of HI training, including more examples

Explanation of HI exercise #5

This exercise has two images, which you can use as physical trainer when putting down your cones. Both exercises are almost the same, but 5B means that referees have to be more aware of others on the field of play. Because this resembles more what they can expect during a game. If you run this for yourself, just use 5a.

This is how the exercises goes:

• Start with a 50 metre walk in 35 seconds
• Then do 2 High-Intensity runs of 75m in totally 30 seconds

One set: 10 laps

Rest time: 2 minutes between sets. After 2 sets take a longer rest time.

Repetition: 2 sets

Variations: You can put 3 cones on the field of play. That way referees can vary their distance based on ability.
