Strength training

At Battleground Fitness we know that strength and conditioning are essential components to improve performance in track and field athletes. The primary focus of strength training should be on explosive movements such as plyometrics, Olympic lifts, and acceleration drills. Furthermore, conditioning work should be geared toward the specific energy systems needed in track and field, such as interval training and fartlek runs. Athletes should focus on building strong core muscles, which directly transfer to athletic performance. It is also essential to identify and address any muscle imbalances that may lead to injuries, especially in high-risk areas such as the lower back and knees. Lastly, nutrition and recovery are critical components to support the athlete’s training to optimize their performance. A well-designed strength and conditioning program will enhance an athlete’s speed, agility, and power, ultimately leading to better performances in the track and field events.
