The main aim of strength & conditioning (S & C) training is to physically and physiologically develop an elite athlete or team in order to improve sports performance. The process involves practically applying evidence-based research and requires more than just lifting weights. The periodised training schedule is carefully planned around competitive fixtures and is focused on helping athletes improve endurance, strength, speed and flexibility whilst ideally remaining injury free.
Strength and conditioning for athletes
The S & C sessions may consist of speed and agility training, plyometrics, sport specific metabolic conditioning, core stability and weightlifting derivatives. The emphasis placed on each training modality will vary according to the current training phase, competitive schedule and individual requirement.
Professionally, it is considered good practice to form relationships with the associated sport coaches and medical staff in order to maximise training potential and address any particular needs. Everyone is an individual and has varying strengths and weaknesses. Strength & conditioning is a very effective method of training with regards to maximising the strengths whilst minimising the weaknesses.
