Athletic Strength Program

Athletic Strength Program Overview

From an athlete’s point of view, the need of an ‘Athletic Strength Program’ is to develop strength with the intent of improving one’s sport skill, the ability to feel dominate physically and mentally on their playing surface. From a parent’s point of view an ‘Athletic Strength Program’ it’s about injury prevention. The stronger the muscles are around a joint or the vertebrae, the likeliness of an injury or the severity of it is less. This is especially true when playing a contact sport.

Focused Components

TOTAL BODY STRENGTH TRAINING – the brain thinks in terms of movement not individual isolated muscles. The key is to link your body together so you can get stronger, and more powerful, enabling you to become more skillful.

CORE STRENGTH TRAINING – without a strong core, athletes will not have the ability to efficiently absorb and transfer forces through their body. The core musculature should be strengthened through the execution of various movement patterns.

COMPLEX TRAINING – is best defined as a strength movement followed by a speed movement or skill. An example of complex training would be: performing a squat exercise, then doing box jumps, hurdle hopping, stair running etc.

BALLISTIC TRAINING – represents an exercise where an object is released, which allows you to accelerate through the entire movement. An example of ballistic training would be: throwing a medicine ball that simulates a shooting motion in hockey.

SPORTS BALANCE – The ability to display strength in conditions of instability. The three phases of training to improve sports balance are; single leg balance, single leg strength and core stabilization. The more difficult and complex a movement is (ie skating), the more important balance becomes. For this reason, our program combines balance with stability and strength exercise, which transitions to improved strength on the ice.
