What is Strength & Conditioning?

  • Strength Training

    Involves resistance exercises aimed at increasing muscle strength, power, and size. These exercises typically include weightlifting, bodyweight movements, and the use of resistance bands or machines.

  • Conditioning

    Focuses on improving cardiovascular endurance and stamina. Conditioning exercises often include activities like running, cycling, swimming, or circuit training to enhance heart and lung efficiency.

Components of S&C

    • Resistance Training: Exercises that involve lifting weights or using resistance bands to improve muscle strength.

    • Core Stability: Exercises that target the muscles of the abdomen and lower back to improve overall stability and reduce injury risk.

    • Plyometrics: Explosive movements like jumps and sprints designed to increase power output and enhance athletic performance.

    • Olympic Lifts: Advanced lifts like the snatch and clean and jerk, often used to develop speed, power, and full-body coordination.

    • Sprint Training: High-intensity interval training focused on improving running speed.

    • Agility Drills: Quick change-of-direction exercises to enhance reaction times and movement efficiency.

    • Aerobic Conditioning: Long-duration, low- to moderate-intensity exercises aimed at improving cardiovascular endurance, such as running or cycling.

    • Anaerobic Conditioning: Short, high-intensity bursts of activity that increase the body’s ability to function at high intensities for a longer period.

    • Stretching: Regular stretching to improve the range of motion and decrease stiffness.

    • Mobility Drills: Dynamic exercises aimed at improving joint function and overall body movement.

    • Prehabilitation: Exercises focused on strengthening muscles and improving movement patterns to prevent injuries before they occur.

    • Rehabilitation: Post-injury exercises designed to restore strength and function after injury recovery.

Key Benefits:

Improved Athletic Performance

Increases power, strength, speed, and endurance, enhancing overall athleticism, helping players to meet the specific demands of the game.

Mental Toughness

S&C training builds discipline and mental resilience, which can help athletes push through challenges in both training and competition.

Enhanced Physical Fitness

Improves cardiovascular health and muscular strength. Leads to better body composition through fat loss and muscle gain.

Injury Prevention

Strengthens muscles, tendons, and ligaments, reducing the likelihood of injury. Enhances movement patterns and flexibility, which decreases joint and muscle strain.

Faster Recovery

Athletes who regularly engage in S&C tend to recover more quickly from intense training or competition due to better physical conditioning.

Long Term Health & Wellbeing

Promotes healthy bone density, better posture, and overall well-being and helps to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
