Players run constantly up and down the field while cradling, passing, and shooting a small rubber ball with a long-handled stick. The sport demands explosive sprinting, quick directional changes, and upper body strength for stick handling and shooting. A typical lacrosse game provides an intense full-body workout that builds both aerobic endurance and anaerobic power.
