Athletic training isn’t just flat out body building weights training, 100% of the time. Most athletes don’t require bulk strength, because it decreases your agility.
You have four dominant types of physical qualities:
- Speed – the time taken to move between two points
- Strength – the application of force
- Endurance – continual effort with minimal diminishment
- Flexibility – the range of movement at a joint
There are two main energy systems to power your movements:
- Aerobic
- Anaerobic, which is split into Phosphate and Lactate energy
Because athletes have an on and off season for competition, periodisation is both an effective and necessary scheduling of your training.
Periodisation splits your training into specific segments, allowing your athletic ability to peak when you want it to, and recognising the importance of recovery phases to compliment strength and speed training.
Athlete Assessment:
Assessing your functional movement ability, spinal strength and posture, and making sure your left and right movements are symmetrical.
Injury prevention:
Adjusting body movement during training to improve efficiency and energy reserve during your event, will also reduce so called freak injury. With improved balance and body control you will reduce dangerous movements and placement in your sport.
