Principles for Optimising Strength Transfer to Sport Webinar

Best Practice Principles for Optimising Strength Transfer to Sports Performance Webinar

The presentation discusses the application of strength training to sports performance. It considers why “general strength training” methods have limited applicability to elite populations or individuals who utilise strength training to improve sporting performance. Using basic muscle physiology concepts, it then provides an overview of planning and conducting strength training programs that give the greatest opportunity of sports transfer as well. Integral to effective planning and programming in elite sport is the ability to define and understand the concept of “specify of training”, this presentation ensures that attendees have the ability to identify and program specific work for sports performers based on their needs.

Presented by Mr Mark Bennett, BSc (Hons)
