You are being WAY too vague in what you're saying.
Here's an example of a question that we can actually help you with:
"Is it possible to play soccer for 2 hours straight, at moderate intensity, 1-2 times a week, and still bulk up?"
As for the nutritional program, that's another vague question. What are your goals? It sounds like you're trying to bulk up, but beyond that - what weight are you at now? Age? Height? % of Body Fat? What's your daily caloric intake currently? Do you currently diet (No, not Atkins - do you watch what you eat closely?)
Please, be specific when you repost.
Good argument, but basketball players probably burn as much calories and a lot of them are pretty muscular...or well have u ever seen a big football / rugby player? cause I have..actually most of them are pretty damn big. I bet u they dont really run less than soccer players. Besides if that kid wants to only play soccer once or twice a week for 2hours straight or so, which would be 2-4 hours a week he doesnt even come close to running as much as those athlets I just mentioned. Another example would be all those heavy weight boxers who train for endurance by rope skipping, running and jogging plus boxing pretty much each and every day.If you play full field soccer for 90 minutes, I can almost be sure you will not gain much muscle mass.
If u dont change your eating habits you will (most likely) lose muscle mass as well as fat. Right. You know why? Because you burn more calories and thus (most likely) burn more calories than u eat. If u start eating more though and thus eat more calories than you burn again, you can make up for that and gain mass.Soccer is all about endurance and with all the running you have in a game (about 15km of jogging and sprinting) you will lose muscle mass as well as fat.
Seedorf, Figo, some african players Ive seen...ok they are no bodybuilders but they're still big compared to the average person, not just cut.When you see soccer playings celebrating a goal and take off their shirt, you see they are very cut, with little muscle. When you are running 15km a game 1 kilo of less fat/muscle always helps you last longer.
I'd imagine that Soccer uses more cardio as the fields are bigger, and you use your legs/feet a lot. Don't want to get into an argument of sport vs sportmadgame said:Good argument, but basketball players probably burn as much calories and a lot of them are pretty muscular...or well have u ever seen a big football / rugby player? cause I have..actually most of them are pretty damn big.

How do they do it?
