Strength and Conditioning
Programme design for athletes aligned to specific sports performance outcomes.
Become an elite athlete.
Strength and conditioning training is a broad term that describes the process of attempting to increase physical fitness through a regimented program.
It can include a variety of features which may vary widely depending on the program. These features may include weight lifting, drills to increase cardiovascular fitness, and injury prevention.
The training tends to be used most often for athletes and improving athletic performance, but it can also be customised for non-athletes to promote general fitness.
WEIGHTS
Lifting weights not only help a person become physically stronger and overpower opponents, it also helps strengthen bones and prevent injuries.
Weight lifting routines are especially helpful in preventing injuries for athletes who play sports that require sudden landing, sprinting, or physical contact, such as football or rugby.
CARDIO
Strength and conditioning training may also focus on cardiovascular exercise. Some athletes focus on cardiovascular endurance whereas others want to perform activity in quicker, more powerful bursts.
Regardless of your cardiovascular goal, the coach will teach proper running form and breathing techniques.
RECOVERY
If athletes attempt to partake in a vigorous strength and cardiovascular routine without allowing time for proper recovery, they can risk injuries, such as painful joints and muscles.
This balanced strength and conditioning routine will space out weight lifting and cardiovascular workouts to allow time for your body to recover.
