STRENGTH TRAINING
STRENGTH TRAINING
Strength training is now acknowledged as a critical component in the development of the elite athlete as well as broad application of the health and fitness regime of the general public, special populations and the elderly. Strength training is in fact one of the main ways to improve health and performance for all populations.
Strength training is the process of applying physical loading to the body with aim to achieve a specific type of adaptation. The adaptation will vary depending on how strength training is applied and on the individual participating.
The challenge for a strength coach is to determine the appropriate type of strength training warranted for each individual case, whether it be preparation for international competition or rehabilitation of the ankle joint. Moreover, to identify and understand the biological consequences of various training stimuli. Understanding how to apply the correct modality of strength training, the correct intensity, volume, tempo, recovery time and frequency, and the correct timing of various interventions is paramount to succeeding in the application of strength training. The only way to determine the optimal stimuli at any given time is to understand the biological principles that drive human adaptations resulting from the application of such stimuli. In addition, ways to measure and monitor specific adaptations are of great significance when it comes to prescribing the most effective and safe way of strength training.
Insight into the successful application of strength training
At Movement Efficiency strength training is incorporated in the training process which has as aim to create structural balance and efficient and effective sling systems. However, it is only once we have achieved structural balance and robust sling systems that we can load the body sufficiently in order to achieve performance optimisation.
