Sports Conditioning
Help your athlete get the competitive edge they need today to become the sports stars of tomorrow.
Young athletes have special needs. Because their bodies are growing, they require more age-specific coaching and conditioning than mature athletes. With sports conditioning at Fitness Plus, young athletes receive strength-training programs specifically tailored to children that increase their athletic performance and prevent injury.
Strength training, or resistance training, is a form of physical conditioning used to increase the ability to resist force. By increasing muscle strength, regular training can improve sports performance in young athletes. Fitness Plus’ programs are based on each athlete’s skill level, age, sport preference and improvement goals. Our techniques are positive and supportive. Eliminating self-doubt, we help develop the optimistic, positive thought patterns that characterize winning athletes.
Sports Conditioning Benefits
Performance Enhancement
Our training methodology is built on the concept that athletes should train the way they play. We couple sports training with strength and conditioning thereby assuring that our athletes can outplay and outlast the competition
Promotion of a Healthy Lifestyle
Physical well-being is also a state of mind, and physical exercise commonly facilitates the incorporation of other aspects of a healthy lifestyle into a comprehensive regimen. It can also aid in body composition and the loss of body fat, countering childhood obesity.
Injury Prevention
Studies by the American College of Sports Medicine show that training may prevent injury from occurring during the sports season. It also gives children a basic level of fitness by using a wide range of exercises to promote flexibility and coordination, decreasing the number of injuries.
Improvement of Sports Performance, Physical Fitness and Self-Image
Perhaps most importantly, a child’s self esteem, self confidence, mental discipline, performance and coordination can all be expected to improve as a result of conditioning.
Resistance to Life-Threatening Conditions
Exercise and proper training also have a positive effect on a child’s cardiopulmonary/cardiorespiratory status and bone mineral density, helping to reduce the risk of serious illnesses in adulthood, such as heart disease and osteoporosis.
