SPORTS SPECIFIC TRAINING PROGRAMMES are designed for professional or recreational athletes as they require specific training methodologies to match the demands of their respective sports. These programmes are designed to improve performance and are not suited for general trainees. |
|
As an example, whilst a rugby player might need to increase overall muscle mass and strength in a functional way, to increase speed, maximal strength, power etc, a swimmer might need just the opposite: more power with LESS total bodyweight to increase hydrodynamics. Or what about a kick boxer attached to a weight class? |
|
As you can see the three examples should have very different training programmes to prepare them for their respective disciplines. The loading parameters of each programme should be different not to mention the exercise selection. |
|
On the other hand what about the people who just want to get fit, or are new to weight training or just tired and frustrated of training for a long time without any noticeable results? Obviously the general population will not train as an athlete as their training goals are different. GENERAL TRAINING PROGRAMMES are designed to meet this need. |
