Strength and conditioning is a specialised field that focuses on improving athletic performance through the development of strength, power, endurance, and overall physical fitness.
Exercise physiologists or Physiotherapists working in strength and conditioning typically work with athletes, teams, or individuals looking to enhance their athletic abilities.
They design and implement customised training programs that are specific to the needs and goals of the individual or team.
These programs often include a combination of resistance training, cardiovascular conditioning, flexibility exercises, and sport-specific drills. The exercise physiologist or Physiotherapist may also incorporate techniques such as periodisation, plyometrics, and high-intensity interval training to help athletes reach their peak performance levels.
Additionally, strength and conditioning involves monitoring and assessing the athlete’s progress, adjusting the training program as needed, and providing guidance on nutrition, recovery strategies, and injury prevention.
At U Physiotherapy we have a variety of high tech testing equipment to set base line ability and then track progress throughout your program.
Overall, strength and conditioning aims to optimise athletic performance, reduce the risk of injury, and improve overall physical health and fitness in athletes and individuals looking to enhance their strength and endurance.
U Physiotherapy currently has a variety of athletes and local sporting clubs who maintain their performance with the help of our amazing team!
